Video circulating on social media claim to be of a failed suicide attack against Mecca, is nothing but a non-security related incident.
There are literally 1000 of posts about this online.
"The clarification comes after a person was arrested in Mecca. For the past several hours, videos have been circulating on the internet that claim to show a suspected suicide bomber being detained by authorities. But the Saudi Ministry of Interior said the arrest was made in a completely unrelated incident.
The MoI said in Arabic: "The security authorities in the Holy Capital arrested a person for harassing passers-by and causing panic and fear among them. He was dealt with immediately at the time of the incident, and the necessary legal procedures were taken against him and he was referred to the Public Prosecution."

“STARMER ‘COMPLICIT’ IN TRUMP’S YEMEN MASSACRE”
by Iona Craig in Declassified UK
“Royal Air Force (RAF) refuelling planes supported US strikes on Yemen that the Pentagon assessed ‘more likely than not’ resulted in 281 civilian casualties, it has emerged.
Britain’s involvement in the operation “may make them complicit in war crimes,” Human Rights Watch told Declassified”

Saudi Arabia called Trump twice begging for help. He said no. Yemen now controls the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the ‘Axis of Resistance’ has its hand on the throat of global trade.Deaglan O'Mulrooney (the spectacle)
#SaudiArabia has shut down the critical East-West oil pipeline after Thursday's attack on multiple pumping stations.
The pipeline carried roughly 7 million barrels per day of crude, bypassing the Strait of #Hormuz.
Two days ago Iran said they would knock AWS datacenters in the region offline with missiles and drones.
A quick check of the AWS dashboard today shows significant service disruptions at the sites.
#EpicFail #AWS #Iran #Baharain #SaudiArabia
Over the last two days the Houthi have captured large swaths of the Yemen coasts along with critical strategic islands needed to control the Red Sea sending oil prices skyrocketing.
Among the Houthi's accomplishments this week is one of the world's largest single day capture of enemy troops. The Houthi captured thousands of Saudi troops along with all of their gear and hundreds of US made MRAP vehicles.
#Yemen #Houthi #RedSea #OilWar #EpicFail #SaudiArabia #UAE #Iran
There's a ton of US fud going around claiming that the Saudi east-west oil pipeline was -not- struck... however that's absolute cap.
We can see it on fire in multiple satellite imaging systems. SOME major piece of oil infrastructure along the pipeline is CLEARLY on fire.
Twitter's OSINT remains very fast at reviewing these claims and I think this analysis is more likely correct than the US official line rn.

Liberation of Mokha
People on the streets Mokha warmly greated the advancing Houthi troops.
In other videos people on the street greet the Yemeni fighters with shouts of "Death to America, Death to Israel!"
This city was captured first by Al-Qa’ida back in 2014, then eventually invaded by a Saudi + UAE equipped coalition.
#liberation #Mokha #Alqaida #UAE #SaudiArabia #Yemen #Houthi
One of the first stops Houthi forces made in Mokha was to liberate the Saudi run prisons which the Houthis say were used to torture PoWs.
The Ansar Allah(Houthis) forces were warmly greeted by the prisoners.
Abolish prisons, especially prisons holding people who were protecting their homeland.
The transfer of advanced US fighting hardware to both the Saudi's and the UAE had been in question a ton over the past 10yrs for EXACTLY the reasons we're seeing this week.
This is a TOTAL fail for the US right here. Some people at the Pentagon have been warning about the Houthi ability to steal sensitive equipment for a pretty long time.

As missiles fall from the sky and energy infrastructure is targeted, the limitations of relying on the US for protection are becoming all too obvious, says Sanam Vakil of Chatham HouseSanam Vakil (the Guardian)
I'm also starting to hear geopol experts pointing now to the vulnerability of water desalination plants in the region.
If Iran targets these MANY Gulf States will have water shortages as some rely on these plants for up to 60% of their clean drinking water.
Iran is really holding all the cards.
Imo the region needs the US to beg for a ceasefire in only a handful of days.

Trump feiert sich als Kriegsbeender und jammert, er kriege immer noch keinen Friedensnobelpreis. Dann lässt er mit Israel Iran bombardieren – und die Hölle geht auf. Seitdem werden Israel und Libanon beschossen, und Raketen/Drohnen fliegen auch auf die VAE, Katar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman und Saudi-Arabien. Sogar Zypern wurde getroffen. Der Flächenbrand frisst sich weiter. Das ist kein Frieden. Das ist eine scheiß Brandstiftung.
