Houthis deny Saudi claim of attack on Mecca, call it 'worn-out lie'

A Houthi official publicly rejected the Saudi-led coalition's accusation that the group targeted Mecca, dismissing it as a repeated falsehood. The denial introduces uncertainty about the veracity of the coalition's claim and signals continued information warfare between the parties. This matters as false or disputed claims of attacks on holy sites could escalate regional tensions and affect conflict dynamics.
