The Saudi-led coalition
battling Yemen's Houthi forces has destroyed two explosive-laden boats that the
Iran-aligned group planned to use in an "imminent" attack launched
from the Red Sea port of Hodeidah, Saudi state media reported on Sunday.

The coalition in separate statements also said it
intercepted and destroyed three armed drones launched towards southern Saudi
Arabia.
The Houthis, who ousted Yemen's internationally
recognized government from the capital, Sanaa, and now hold most of north
Yemen, have kept up missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia after Riyadh last
week presented a new peace initiative.
US Special Envoy Tim Lenderking on Thursday returned
to the region to push for the initiative, which includes a nationwide
ceasefire.
The Houthis want the coalition to fully lift its sea
and air blockade on areas the group controls.
The conflict, seen in the region as a proxy war
between Saudi Arabia and Iran, has caused what the United Nations says is the
world's largest humanitarian crisis.
The Houthis say they are fighting a corrupt
system and foreign aggression.
