Pakistan has strongly condemned the attack by the Houthi militia on the Taibah power distribution station in Madinah on 29 September 2026. In a statement issued on Friday, the Foreign Office said the attack on civilian infrastructure supplying electricity to the Prophet’s Mosque was “a grave provocation and a matter of deep concern and anguish for millions of Muslims worldwide”.
Foreign Office spokesperson Ambassador Sajjad Haider Khan said the sanctity of the Two Holy Mosques and the safety of worshippers and pilgrims must be respected under all circumstances.
Pakistan called for “an immediate and unconditional end” of such reckless actions, warning they constitute a grave threat to regional peace and security. Islamabad reaffirmed its unwavering solidarity with Saudi Arabia, expressing full support for the Kingdom’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and security.
According to coalition spokesperson Major General Turki Al-Malki, the drone attack targeted the Taibah station at 5:11 am on September 29. The coalition said evidence, including the wreckage of the drone used, confirmed Houthi involvement — a claim the Houthi side has denied through its media.
Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Turkiye and Kuwait also condemned the attack, expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia, and called for an immediate end to hostilities.
