Qatar condemns yesterday’s drone attack by the Houthis against the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, calling it “a shameful act of aggression and a blatant provocation of the sentiments of more than a billion Muslims around the world.”

In a statement, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry says that actions endangering Mecca constitute “a grave escalation.”

It also expresses full solidarity with Saudi Arabia’s measures to protect itself.
