Grand Mosque head slams Houthi strikes on Makkah, Madinah as coalition defenses thwart attacks

Sheikh Abdulrahman Al-Sudais, president of Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque, on Sunday condemned repeated ballistic missile and drone attacks by Yemen’s Houthi militia toward Makkah and Madinah.

Al-Sudais warned that the security and sanctity of the Two Holy Mosques remain a “red line that must not be breached.”

He said the persistent assaults reveal the militia’s “criminal approach” and malicious intent toward Muslims and their sacred sites.
