Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia Trigger Mecca Air Raid Alerts

On September 15, 2026, air raid alarms sounded in Mecca, Islam's holiest city, as Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia continued. The attacks wounded 13 civilians and prompted alerts in several Saudi cities, including Jeddah. The Houthis also claimed to have shot down a Saudi jet. Saudi Arabia warned it would respond firmly to the attacks. The Houthis are a Yemen-based armed group that has been fighting a Saudi-led coalition since 2015.
