The official spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition forces, Turki al-Maliki, said that the Houthis attacked the Taiba electricity distribution station in the city of Medina day before yesterday - considered the second holiest city in Islam. According to the statement, "The attack caused the shutdown of one of the transformers, the power grid itself was not damaged. The Houthis are trying to harm the two holy mosques and deliberately provoke the feelings of millions of Muslims around the world." The Yemeni news agency Saba, affiliated with the Houthis, quoted a "military source" who denied the claims: "The lies and fabrications spread by the Saudi enemy are completely baseless." Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan condemned the attacks.
