UAE strongly condemns Houthis' attempt to target Mecca

The United Arab Emirates has vehemently denounced the Houthis' attempt to target Mecca, the holiest city in Islam, with a drone.

The UAE reiterated its unwavering support for Saudi Arabia and its commitment to bolstering the kingdom's defenses.
