Saudi-led coalition says Houthis attacked power station in Medina - Reuters

The Saudi-led coalition announced that a power station in the western Saudi city of Medina was attacked. The coalition attributed the strike to Yemen’s Houthi rebel movement, which has been engaged in a prolonged conflict with the coalition and its allies.

According to the coalition’s statement, the attack targeted the facility that supplies electricity to the Medina region. No immediate details were provided regarding the extent of damage or any casualties resulting from the incident.

The coalition’s claim comes amid ongoing hostilities between Saudi-backed forces and the Houthis, who have conducted cross‑border operations into Saudi territory in recent months. The coalition has repeatedly warned that such attacks threaten critical infrastructure and civilian services.

In a related development, the Yemeni government forces, which receive backing from the Saudi coalition, reported that they are inflicting heavy losses on Houthi fighters in the city of Taiz. The statement highlighted intensified fighting in the area, though specific figures were not disclosed.

Both statements reflect the heightened tension and military activity in the region, with the coalition and Yemeni government forces emphasizing their efforts to counter Houthi advances while the Houthis continue to claim responsibility for attacks within Saudi Arabia.
