On Tuesday evening, the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen intercepted and destroyed a Houthi drone south of the Islamic holy city of Mecca. According to coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki, the drone was intentionally targeted at Mecca, which houses Islam's most sacred shrine and serves as the focal point of the Hajj pilgrimage.
In response to the incident, the Saudi-led coalition condemned the operation as a "disgraceful act." Meanwhile, the Houthi movement has denied the allegations that they targeted the holy city.
