Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has called for an emergency parliamentary session to authorise him to approve any requests from Saudi Arabia for defence assistance, if Riyadh were to ask.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Egypt says it is ready to provide “all necessary and possible support to Saudi Arabia to defend its safety and stability”, as Yemen’s Houthi rebels continue to launch attacks on the kingdom.
During a visit to Egypt last month, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Sisi called for free and secure navigation in the Red Sea.
“We have intercepted and destroyed four drones over the past few hours in the regions of Riyadh, the Eastern Province, and the South,” coalition spokesman Turki al-Malki wrote on X.
Saudi Arabia has accused Iran of encouraging Houthi attacks against the kingdom, a claim Tehran rejects.
Analysis
Agreed
Reported by outlets on both sides of the middle
The incident comes a week after strikes by the Houthis killed 13 people at Riyadh’s international airport, the deadliest attack in Saudi Arabia in more than a decade.

Egypt was not looking to intervene in regional wars, el-Sisi said, but it was “inconceivable” for Cairo to stand by while Saudi Arabia was harmed.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, meanwhile, said Tehran supported a “comprehensive political process as the only practical and sustainable way to resolve” the conflict.
