Saudi Arabia says its air defences intercepted and destroyed a Houthi drone south of Mecca before it could enter the restricted airspace over the holy city. The Saudi-led coalition described the security of Mecca and the Two Holy Mosques as a “red line” and said the incident was the second alleged Houthi attempt to target Mecca since 2017. Houthi officials have denied targeting Mecca, calling the Saudi claim false. The incident comes amid a wider escalation between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-aligned Houthi movement, with attacks also reported across Saudi territory.
