Muslim Council of Elders strongly condemns attacks on Saudi civilian sites
The Muslim Council of Elders has issued a strong condemnation of attacks targeting civilian sites in Saudi Arabia.
Turkey's foreign ministry has strongly condemned the Houthi drone attack launched on the holy city of Makkah, reaffirming its support for Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and security. The ministry reiterated its call for an immediate cessation of Houthi attacks that threaten regional stability and security. The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs had previously expressed the Kingdom's condemnation of the Houthi militia's hostile drone launch towards Makkah on September 15, 2026, describing it as a cowardly terrorist attack against the birthplace of Islam and a provocation to Muslims worldwide.
This was the second attempt by the Houthi militia to target Makkah, following an incident on July 27, 2017.
