A drone strike attributed to Houthi forces has damaged a power transformer responsible for supplying electricity to the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah. The Saudi-led military coalition reported that the incident occurred on Tuesday morning. Military spokesman Major General Turki Al Malki confirmed that wreckage recovered from the site indicates Houthi involvement in the operation. This event marks the second attempt in two weeks to target Saudi Arabia's holy cities, following a previous drone interception near Makkah. Officials have characterized the attack as a deliberate provocation against the global Muslim community, as it directly impacted essential infrastructure serving one of Islam's most sacred sites. The coalition continues to monitor the situation while condemning the targeting of civilian and religious facilities.
