Saudi Arabia's Defense Ministry said an investigation has confirmed that Yemen's Houthi movement planned and carried out a drone attack that targeted the Taiba power distribution station in Medina, according to a report by Sky News Arabia.
Defense Ministry spokesman Brigadier General Turki al-Maliki said the findings of the investigation established the Houthis' involvement in both planning and executing the attack, which struck the station before dawn on Tuesday, the report said.
Sky News Arabia's report did not detail the extent of damage caused by the attack or whether the power station has since been restored to full operation.
The Houthi movement has previously claimed responsibility for drone and missile attacks on Saudi infrastructure amid the broader regional conflict involving Yemen.
