Yemen's Houthis denied launching an attack on Saudi Arabia on Friday after the Saudi-led coalition said it had intercepted and destroyed a drone fired by the group over the Mecca* region.

“This is an outright fabrication,” the group’s military spokesman Yahya Saree said.

A day earlier, the Houthis carried out six operations across Saudi Arabia targeting oil facilities, airports, and a military site. Saree said the group fired a barrage of missiles at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, while a drone struck King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, disrupting air traffic.

The Saudi-led coalition has not commented on Thursday's claims.

*Mecca, Islam’s holiest city, is the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad and home to the Kaaba, which Muslims around the world face in daily prayer.
