Alliance: Houthi terrorist militia targets 'Tayba' power distribution station in Medina

The Coalition for Supporting Legitimacy in Yemen announced that the Houthi terrorist militia targeted the Taybah electricity distribution station in Medina. The Coalition’s official spokesperson, Brigadier General Turki Al-Maliki, stated that a terrorist attack occurred at 5:11 a.m. on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at the Taybah electricity distribution station in the City of the Prophet (peace be upon him) (Medina). Investigations and evidence gathered by the competent authorities confirmed the involvement of the Houthi terrorist militia in planning and executing this cowardly terrorist act, based on operational review and remnants of the drone used.

In a statement relayed by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), Brigadier General Al-Maliki clarified that the attack caused one transformer to go out of service, without affecting the electrical grid. He emphasized that this cowardly attempt to target a civilian facility providing electricity to the Noble Prophet’s Mosque in Medina is a continuation of the extremist militia’s pattern of trying to target the Two Holy Mosques and deliberately provoking the feelings of millions of Muslims worldwide by targeting Mecca and Medina.

Brigadier General Al-Maliki reaffirmed the Coalition’s continued commitment to taking and implementing measures to deter the Houthi terrorist militia, ensuring the protection of the Two Holy Mosques and the safety of the guests of God in Mecca and Medina.
