Turkey's Foreign Ministry issued a statement Wednesday evening condemning the Houthi drone attack on Mecca and reaffirming Ankara's support for Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and territorial integrity, according to N12. The statement comes hours after Saudi Arabia's own Foreign Ministry condemned the same attack as a "cowardly terror act." The Houthi drone launch toward Mecca is the latest in a series of aerial attacks by the Iran-backed group on Saudi territory, including airports and energy infrastructure, as regional condemnation continues to mount.
