Saudi coalition says Houthi drone destroyed near Mecca
- On Tuesday, the Saudi-led Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen intercepted and destroyed a Houthi drone near Mecca before it entered the holy city's restricted airspace.
- Recent Houthi attacks on Khamis Mushait, Abha, and Taif injured 13 civilians and damaged seven homes and two vehicles, escalating hostilities that have drawn Saudi Arabia deeper into the conflict.
- The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation condemned the strike as "heinous," asserting the attack was intended to "terrorise civilians" and violate the sanctity of holy sites and mosques.
- Coalition spokesperson Turki al-Malki described the incident as "a deliberate act intended to provoke the feelings of millions of Muslims," calling Mecca's security a "red line."
- Houthi spokesperson Hazem al-Assad rejected the Saudi claim, stating, "The claims about targeting Mecca are a worn-out lie that has been used before and no longer fools anyone.
