Pakistan has strongly condemned a Houthi drone attack on the Taibah Power Distribution Station in Madinah, calling it a grave provocation and expressing full solidarity with Saudi Arabia.
The Foreign Office said the facility supplies electricity to Masjid-e-Nabawi (the Prophet’s Mosque), describing the attack as a source of anguish for Muslims around the world.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said the attack was “condemnable” and constituted a grave provocation, stressing that the sanctity of the Two Holy Mosques and the safety of pilgrims must be respected at all costs.
Pakistan said actions that threaten regional peace and security must cease immediately.
The Foreign Office also stressed the importance of protecting the holy sites and ensuring the safety of pilgrims across the region.
Islamabad reaffirmed its “complete and unwavering solidarity” with Saudi Arabia, with the spokesperson reiterating Pakistan’s support for the Kingdom’s sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.
According to allied forces, a Houthi drone targeted the Taibah Power Distribution Station in Madinah on Tuesday morning, damaging one transformer.
The allied forces said the attack did not disrupt the overall electricity system and was part of continued Houthi attempts to target the power supply serving the Prophet’s Mosque and other holy sites.
They added that efforts would continue against the Houthis to protect the Two Holy Mosques.
