UAE’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the Houthis’ attempted drone attack on Mecca.


In a social media post, the Foreign Ministry said that the attempted attack constitutes a violation of Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty.

“We affirm the UAE’s full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its support for all measures to safeguard its security and stability,” the statement read.
