A drone attack targeting an electricity distribution station in the holy city of Medina, Saudi Arabia, has been attributed to Yemen’s Houthi rebels by the Saudi-led coalition. The alleged attack has drawn widespread condemnation from across the Muslim world. This incident occurs amidst escalating conflict within Yemen itself, where government forces report launching strikes against Houthi positions. Explosions were reported by AFP journalists in Sanaa, the capital city currently under Houthi control. The Saudi-led coalition asserts the Houthis are responsible for the Medina attack, further straining already tense relations. This escalation raises concerns over the potential for wider regional instability. The Houthis have not yet officially claimed responsibility for the attack.
