Ally downs drone over Mecca
The Houthis attempted to target Mecca with a drone, an incident that the Saudi-led coalition supporting legitimacy in Yemen described as "hostile and terrorist." This is the second such attempt, the first having occurred in 2017. The coalition condemned this act, considering it a serious violation of Mecca's sanctity and a threat to regional security, as well as an attempt to provoke Muslim sentiments. It also reaffirmed Saudi Arabia’s right to defend itself and protect its sovereignty. The Saudi cabinet announced the end of the threat level in Mecca, Taif, and Jeddah following previous warnings. Human Rights Watch stated that Houthi attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden can be regarded as war crimes. This attempt is part of a broader escalation in the Yemen conflict, with the Houthis expanding control over territories and shifting the regional conflict map. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and its allies continue to counter attack attempts and terrorism, reaffirming the kingdom’s right to defend itself against the militia’s threats.
