Yahya Saree, the spokesman for Yemen's Ansarullah movement, firmly rejected the Saudi coalition's claim regarding the firing and interception of a drone belonging to this movement in the Mecca region. He stated that Ansarullah did not carry out any operations against Saudi territory on that day.
Denial of the Saudi Coalition's Claims
The coalition led by Saudi Arabia claimed yesterday that the country's air defense systems successfully intercepted and destroyed a drone belonging to Ansarullah near Mecca. However, Yahya Saree, rejecting this claim, emphasized that the operations of this movement are limited to oil facilities and military bases in Saudi Arabia.

Missing Details from Saudi Claims
Saudi Arabia has not provided any further details regarding the exact time and location of the interception of this drone or any credible evidence supporting this claim. Meanwhile, Yahya Saree stated that Ansarullah is always committed to preserving the security and interests of the Yemeni people, and any military operations must align with this goal. The spokesman for Ansarullah also noted that Saudi claims are an attempt to divert attention from internal crises in Saudi Arabia.
These tensions continue while Yemen remains embroiled in a civil war and humanitarian crisis. Given that the Saudi coalition quickly reacts to news and claims, it remains to be seen whether these allegations will escalate tensions between the parties. Yahya Saree emphasized that Ansarullah is always committed to the truth and will not engage in any illegal actions.
