RIYADH, Sept 17 — In a recent incident, Saudi Arabia accused the Houthi group of launching a "cowardly" drone attack targeting Mecca, the holiest city in Islam. The Houthis, in response, rejected the claim as a "lie" and vowed retaliation. The accusations have sparked outrage from Muslim nations worldwide. The conflict has now escalated, with Saudi Arabia launching airstrikes across Yemen and the Houthis retaking control of the Red Sea coast and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a vital shipping route.
The Saudi-led coalition vowed to take "deterrent measures" against the Houthis, while numerous countries condemned the attacks, including Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Pakistan.
