Mecca Drone Dispute

Saudi Arabia Accuses Houthis of Mecca Drone Attack

Saudi Arabia accused Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels of attempting to attack Mecca with a drone, saying it shot down the aircraft south of the holy city. The Saudi-led coalition called the alleged incident a "disgraceful act" and a "red line." Houthi rebels denied targeting Mecca and separately claimed to have downed a Saudi fighter jet.
