Drone toward Mecca and missiles toward Riyadh... escalation widens between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis

Makkah region, Saudi Arabia ·

The command of the coalition supporting legitimacy in Yemen announced early Friday that it had intercepted and destroyed an explosive drone launched by the Houthi movement toward the Mecca region. The coalition's official spokesman made the statement.

The Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) controls Sanaa and much of northern Yemen, and a Saudi-led coalition has backed the internationally recognised government in Yemen's war since 2015.
