CAIRO, June 2 (Reuters) – Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement launched a drone attack on a military parade for Saudi-led coalition forces in the port city of Aden, the group’s Al Masirah TV said early on Monday.
The Saudi-owned Al-Hadath channel later quoted sources that the air defences shot down a drone west of Aden.

No details were provided on any possible casualties.
