Saudi Arabia Calls Mecca a ‘Red Line’ After Alleged Houthi Drone Attack

Saudi Arabia has designated Mecca as a red line following a Houthi drone attack. Saudi air defenses successfully downed the drone on Tuesday south of Mecca, outside the city's prohibited airspace. While the Houthis deny targeting the holy site, Muslim nations have condemned these heinous attacks. This escalation occurs as Houthi advances in the Red Sea threaten global oil supplies and expand a regional conflict influenced by the Iran war and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
