Saudi Arabia labels Houthi attacks on civilian sites 'war crimes'

Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister Waleed Elkhereiji publicly characterized Houthi attacks on civilian, economic, and airport facilities as 'full-fledged war crimes,' specifically citing deliberate targeting of Makkah, Madinah, and Umrah performers. This escalates Saudi diplomatic rhetoric against the Houthis, potentially signaling a harder line or seeking international support. The claim is an official Saudi statement, not independently verified.
