The United Arab Emirates has condemned in the strongest terms a drone attack by Yemen's Houthi movement on the Taiba power distribution station in Medina, Saudi Arabia, according to a report by Sky News Arabia.
The report said the Houthis targeted the facility with a drone, though it did not detail the extent of any damage to the station or report on casualties. The UAE's statement framed the attack as a violation that it rejected outright.
Part of a Wider Pattern
The Houthi movement, which controls large parts of Yemen, has periodically launched drone and missile attacks against targets in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states in recent years, often tied to the broader regional conflict involving Yemen's civil war and tensions linked to the wider Middle East. Gulf Cooperation Council members have frequently issued joint or individual condemnations of such attacks.
Sky News Arabia's report did not include a response from Saudi authorities or further details on the operational status of the Medina power station following the strike.
