Saudi-Led Coalition Accuses Houthis of Medina Power Station Attack; Houthis Deny Claim
The Saudi-led coalition accused Yemen's Houthi movement of attacking a power distribution station in Medina on September 29, damaging one transformer but not disrupting the electricity network. The station supplies electricity to the Prophet's Mosque, a significant Islamic site. The Houthis denied involvement, calling the accusation false. The incident is part of escalating hostilities between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-aligned Houthis, including recent attacks and military responses in Yemen and Saudi territory.
