Saudi-led Coalition Accuses Houthis of Drone Attack on Medina Power Station
The Saudi-led coalition accused Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis of a drone attack on the Taibah power distribution station in Medina on September 29, damaging one transformer but not disrupting the electricity network supplying the Prophet's Mosque. The Houthis denied involvement, calling the accusation a lie. The coalition described the attack as part of repeated Houthi attempts to target the Two Holy Mosques amid escalating conflict in Yemen, with Saudi-backed forces conducting airstrikes against Houthi positions.
