Saudi-led Coalition Reports Houthi Attack on Medina Power Station
The Saudi-led coalition reported that Yemen's Houthi militants attacked a power distribution station in Medina on Tuesday, disabling one transformer but not affecting the overall electricity network. The coalition cited an investigation and drone wreckage confirming Houthi involvement and described the attack as part of repeated attempts to target Islamic holy sites. There was no immediate response from the Houthis. This incident marks a significant escalation amid ongoing hostilities following the breakdown of a 2022 truce between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis.
