Houthi drone aimed at Mecca deflected
The Saudi-led coalition supporting legitimacy in Yemen successfully intercepted and destroyed a drone launched by the Houthi militia towards Mecca. This is a serious escalation targeting the holy city, and it marks the second attempt by the Houthis to target Mecca since 2017. The Kingdom described this act as heinous, aimed at threatening the security of the Grand Mosque and harming citizens and residents. This escalation comes alongside Saudi warnings of threats to navigation in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, with the Kingdom affirming its support for all necessary measures to protect its national security and warning against Houthi interventions that threaten regional peace.
