The Saudi-led coalition claims Houthi rebels targeted a power station in Medina that supplies electricity to the Prophet's Mosque.
A drone strike targeted a power distribution facility in Medina, Saudi Arabia, an attack the Saudi-led Coalition attributed to Yemen's Houthi movement. The facility supplies electricity to the area surrounding the Prophet's Mosque, Islam's second holiest site. The incident has drawn condemnation from regional actors, including Turkey.
This strike represents a significant escalation in the Yemen conflict, extending its reach into Saudi Arabia's holy cities. The targeting of infrastructure near such a revered religious site carries profound symbolic weight and risks further inflaming regional tensions. It highlights the Houthis' capacity to project force beyond Yemen's borders.
