Saudi-Led Coalition Says Houthis Targeted Power Station in Medina
- On Thursday, the Saudi-led coalition said the Houthis attacked the Taibah electricity distribution station in Medina on Tuesday, disabling one transformer while the electricity network remained unaffected.
- The latest attack marks the most serious escalation since a UN-brokered truce halted cross-border fighting in 2022, following the Houthis' July declaration of a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia.
- An investigation of drone debris confirmed Houthi involvement in planning and executing the attack on the facility supplying electricity to the Prophet's Mosque, one of Islam's holiest sites.
- The coalition characterized the attack as part of repeated attempts to "provoke" Muslims worldwide by targeting the Two Holy Mosques, calling it the second alleged Houthi attempt on Mecca since 2017.
- Saudi Arabia has responded with airstrikes in Yemen and backed government forces against the Houthis, who have gained major territory along the Red Sea coast as the coalition pledged ongoing protection measures.
