Houthi forces launched a drone toward Israel's Red Sea resort city of Eilat late Sunday, marking the second attack of the day, the Israeli military said, adding that the unmanned aircraft was likely intercepted.

"Following the sirens that sounded regarding a hostile aircraft infiltration in the area of Eilat, a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that was launched from Yemen was likely intercepted by the IAF (Israel Air Force)," the military said in a statement. It added that the sirens were triggered due to the risk of falling shrapnel from the interception.

Police said in a statement that officers were searching the area, but no casualties were reported.

There was no immediate comment from the Houthis.

Earlier in the day, Houthi forces fired a missile toward central Israel before dawn, claiming it targeted "sensitive sites." The Israeli military said the missile was intercepted by its air defenses.
