Malaysia has condemned the missile attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels'on Mecca and expressed hope that the perpetrators be brought to justice.

“Malaysia also stands firm in its solidarity with Saudi Arabia in preserving the security and sanctity of the two holy cities, Mecca and Madina,” it said.

The coup militia have been receiving advanced weaponry from their backer Iran, with which they threaten Yemen's neighbors and the international shipping activity off Yemen coasts.
