Truth Behind Drone Explosion at Grand Mosque
Users circulated a video claiming to document an explosion of a drone or missile in the sky above the Masjid al-Haram. However, investigations indicate that the footage actually relates to an incident that occurred in Medina in September 2025, not in Mecca. Saudi Arabia confirmed that it intercepted and destroyed a drone launched by the Houthi group south of Mecca on September 15, 2026, after a second attempt to target the city. Meanwhile, the Houthis denied targeting Mecca. The circulated video shows celestial lights and explosions in Medina, not above the Grand Mosque.
