The Houthi-controlled Shura Council in Yemen has issued a formal condemnation of recent accusations made by Saudi Arabia, which alleged that the rebel group attempted to conduct an attack against the city of Medina. The Houthi leadership described the Saudi claims as a "flagrant slander" during their response on Friday.
The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the Houthi movement and the Saudi-led coalition. By rejecting the allegations, the Houthi authorities are attempting to distance themselves from claims involving the targeting of significant religious sites, which carries high sensitivity in the region.
