OIC Condemns Houthi 'Premeditated Attacks' on Mecca, Escalating Regional Tensions

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) issued a formal condemnation of Houthi attacks on Mecca, calling them 'premeditated' and offensive to Muslims worldwide. This marks a notable diplomatic escalation, as the OIC typically avoids direct accusations against the Houthis. The incident raises regional tensions and could prompt stronger collective action against the Houthis, though details of the attacks remain unverified.
