Türkiye has denounced a Houthi strike on infrastructure serving the Prophet's Mosque, with the country's head of communications describing any attack on the two holy mosques as an "unacceptable affront directed at shared sensitivities of the entire Islamic world," according to Anadolu Agency.
The statement reflects Ankara's position on the sensitivity of the two holy sites in Islam, which hold religious significance far beyond the countries in which they are located.
The condemnation adds Türkiye's voice to international reactions following the reported strike, though the report does not specify the exact nature or extent of damage to the infrastructure involved.
Houthi forces, based in Yemen, have carried out a range of strikes and attacks in the wider region amid ongoing regional tensions, drawing condemnation from various governments depending on the target involved.
Further details on the timing of the strike or any response beyond Türkiye's statement were not included in the available report.
