Drone attack targets power plant feeding the Prophet's Mosque

Coalition spokesman Turki Al-Maliki stated that the attack occurred at 5:11 AM on Tuesday, September 29. Investigations and examination of the drone's wreckage confirmed the involvement of the Houthi militia in planning and executing the attack. The targeted Taiba plant is a civilian facility that provides electricity services to the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah. The Coalition pointed out that the attack caused one electrical transformer to go out of service without causing an outage in the electricity network. The Coalition accused the Houthi militia of seeking to provoke the feelings of millions of Muslims around the world by targeting sites associated with Islamic sanctities. The Coalition affirmed its continued commitment to taking necessary measures to deter and ensure the protection of holy sites.
