Saudi Arabia: Houthis' advance targets holy sites
Saudi Arabia has confirmed that the attempted launch by the Yemen-based Houthi group of a drone towards Mecca constitutes a violation of the holy sites and is considered an provocation to the feelings of Muslims around the world. The Ministry expressed its denunciation of this attack, describing it as a repetition of previous attempts by the Houthis to target Mecca, after a previous attempt in July 2017. It called on the international community to condemn such actions and to adopt a firm stance, reaffirming the Kingdom’s right to defend the security of the Two Holy Mosques and the pilgrims. Saudi air defenses intercepted the drone as it attempted to enter the city’s airspace. This incident comes amid escalating Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, which has been leading an alliance in Yemen to support the legitimate government since 2015. It highlights the group's increased assault on Saudi sites and their challenge to Saudi sovereignty through attempts to target Mecca, amidst robust defensive measures and heightened security preparations by Saudi authorities.
