One person was killed and two others injured after an intercepted drone's debris fell in Taif city on Thursday (September 17), Saudi Civil Defence said.

The deceased is a Yemeni national. The injured include a Saudi woman and a Pakistani citizen, both critically injured.

The drone, believed to be launched by Yemen's Houthi group, was shot down by Saudi air defence, but its wreckage damaged several houses and vehicles.

It is the first fatality inside Saudi Arabia amid escalating Houthi attacks in recent weeks.
