The military coalition led by Saudi Arabia announced that it had intercepted and destroyed a drone launched by the Houthis supported by the Islamic Republic in the Mecca area. Reuters reported that this coalition announced the destruction of the drone by issuing a statement on Friday, November 8. This incident is the latest case of cross-border attacks attributed to the Houthis against Saudi Arabia. In recent weeks, the Houthis have attacked military installations, airports and energy infrastructure in this country using drones and missiles. The Houthis have not responded to this incident so far. This group has repeatedly denied the charge of attacking Mecca and Medina, the two holy cities for Muslims.
