Pakistan strongly condemned the Houthi militia attack on the Taibah power distribution station in Madina on Friday, calling the incident a grave provocation. The Foreign Office stated that the reprehensible attack targeting civilian infrastructure supplying electricity to the Holy Prophet's Mosque caused deep concern and anguish for millions of Muslims worldwide.
The condemnation followed a Thursday announcement by the Saudi-led coalition that the Houthis struck the power station, putting one transformer out of service without disrupting the broader network. Islamabad called for an immediate and unconditional end to such reckless actions, warning they pose a severe threat to regional peace and security while reaffirming its unwavering solidarity with Saudi Arabia.
Last month, Saudi forces intercepted a Houthi drone south of Makkah in what the coalition termed the second attempt to target the city since 2017. The coalition emphasized that the Madina strike formed part of repeated Houthi attempts to target the Two Holy Mosques and provoke Muslims globally, vowing continued measures to protect holy sites.
