The Saudi Royal Air Defense Forces successfully intercepted and destroyed an enemy drone launched by the Houthi militia before it could enter the airspace over Makkah. Major General Turki Al-Malki, speaking for the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, confirmed that the interception occurred south of the holy city. This incident represents a severe escalation, marking the second reported attempt to target Makkah following a similar ballistic missile attack in July 2017.
