Ally reports Houthi attack on Medina station
Under the title "Are the Houthis' proximity to Bab al-Mandab a new pressure card on energy markets?", the article discusses the escalation of the Houthis in the Bab al-Mandab region and its potential impact on global oil markets. The Saudi-led coalition supporting legitimacy in Yemen confirmed that the Houthis carried out a terrorist attack on a power distribution station in Medina using drones, aiming to target civilian facilities and the Holy Mosques. The investigation revealed that the Houthi militia was responsible for planning and executing this attack, which resulted in one transformer going out of service without affecting the entire electricity network. This Houthi escalation follows the Saudi air defenses intercepting a drone attempt by the Houthis to infiltrate Mecca. Targeting civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia reflects a pattern by the militia of targeting the Holy Mosques. The group has denied responsibility for the Mecca attack, asserting that the claims are false. The rise of the Houthis in the Bab al-Mandab area threatens to have significant repercussions on global energy markets, especially amid ongoing tensions with Iran and increased attacks on vital facilities in Saudi Arabia. These developments heighten risks to global oil supplies.
