Fragments of intercepted missiles fell in the Mecca area, Saudi Arabia claims

Fragments from two ballistic missiles landed in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, reportedly fired by Houthi militants from Yemen. The Saudi civil defense condemned these attacks as violations of international humanitarian law. The Houthis deny targeting Mecca and claim their operations focus on military objectives. Saudi Arabia has been involved in the Yemeni civil war for over a decade, leading a coalition against the Houthis, resulting in significant casualties. Tensions escalated recently following retaliatory strikes between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed Yemeni government.
