A SAUDI-led military coalition fighting Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen said it had intercepted and destroyed a Houthi drone in the airspace over Medina on Friday.
Medina is home to the Prophet's Mosque, the second holiest site in Islam.
Reuters reported on Saturday that Saudi Arabia intervened in Yemen's conflict to support the country's internationally recognised government against the Houthi movement.
The latest incident comes amid weeks of Houthi attacks targeting Saudi cities, airports and energy infrastructure.
