The Muslim World League (MWL) has strongly condemned the Houthi militia’s continued attempts to target Muslim holy sites in Mecca and Medina, as well as civilian areas across Saudi Arabia.
In a statement, MWL secretary-general and chairman of the Organisation of Muslim Scholars Dr Shaikh Mohammed Al Issa denounced the militia’s deliberate attacks using ballistic missiles and drones, which were successfully intercepted by Saudi air defences, describing them as violations of the sanctity of holy sites and innocent lives.
Air defences intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles fired by Houthis towards Najran, the coalition fighting for Yemen said.
Debris fell following the interception and damage was being assessed, the coalition said in a post on X.
The Saudi-led coalition also said it intercepted and destroyed a cruise missile headed towards Riyadh.
