Shafaq News / The Egyptian military spokesperson announced on Friday that investigations into the incidents involving the falling of two unidentified objects have revealed that they were drones coming from the south of the Red Sea. Meanwhile, Israel claimed that Houthi militias were responsible for launching these drones to target its territories.
