Saudi Arabia has accused Yemen’s Houthi movement of targeting Mecca after its air defences intercepted and destroyed a drone south of the holy city. Saudi officials said the drone was destroyed before entering Mecca’s restricted airspace and warned that the security of the Two Holy Mosques and pilgrims is a “red line”. The Houthis have denied targeting Mecca and called the Saudi accusation false. The incident comes amid a wider escalation between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, with growing pressure on Red Sea shipping and Saudi oil infrastructure.
