Coalición saudí intercepta dron cerca de La Meca y advierte línea roja

La coalición de Arabia Saudita informó que el 8 de septiembre derribó un dron hutí cerca de La Meca y advirtió que cualquier amenaza a la ciudad sagrada provocará medidas decisivas. La declaración se produjo tras una serie de ataques hutíes que dejaron al menos 73 heridos y provocaron incendios en instalaciones petroleras del sur saudí, según AP y Al Jazeera. Posteriormente, la inteligencia vinculó la oleada de drones a grupos respaldados por Irán, lo que llevó a fuerzas saudíes y estadounidenses a atacar puestos de milicias en Irak, informó AP.

En los días siguientes, los hutíes capturaron el puerto yemení de Mokha y las islas cercanas, generando preocupación por el tráfico marítimo del Mar Rojo y los flujos de petróleo globales, según BBC, CNBC, NPR y PBS. Arabia Saudita y Egipto pidieron entonces la navegación sin restricciones por el Mar Rojo y el estrecho de Bab al-Mandab, según Yahoo.
