Fake or real: Drone interception in Mecca
A video has been circulated claiming to show the interception of a drone launched by the Houthis before it entered the airspace over Mecca. However, it has been proven to be outdated and misleading. The fact-checking team confirmed that the footage dates back to 2025 and shows the interception of a suspicious object in the skies over Medina, not a missile or drone launched from Yemen towards Mecca. At the same time, the Saudi Air Defense forces announced intercepting a drone launched by the Houthi militia towards Mecca, as part of Saudi Arabia's efforts to counter aerial attacks. This marks a second attempt to target Mecca, following a previous attempt in July 2017.
