Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned on Wednesday “in the strongest possible terms the dastardly and heinous” attack on the holy city of Makkah. “The people of Pakistan are saddened and perturbed by this outrageous act,” he said on X. Saudi defenses intercepted on Tuesday a hostile drone fired by the terrorist Houthis in Yemen before it entered the prohibited airspace area of the holy city of Makkah. Official Spokesperson of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen Major General Turki Al-Malki revealed that this was the second hostile and terrorist attempt to target Makkah. The first took place on July 27, 2017.
