GCC Condemns Houthi Attack on Madinah Electrical Facility

Madinah:Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Albudaiwi condemned the terrorist UAV attack by the Houthi militia targeting an electricity distribution station in Madinah, which serves the Prophet's Mosque and other civilian facilities in the city.

According to Saudi Press Agency, Albudaiwi emphasized that the attack is a blatant provocation to Muslims worldwide and a severe escalation that violates the sanctity of Islamic holy sites. He highlighted the attack as part of an aggressive approach that disregards religious, humanitarian values, and international laws and norms, especially given repeated attempts to target the Two Holy Mosques.

The GCC Secretary-General reiterated the member states' firm support for Saudi Arabia, expressing full solidarity in confronting threats to its security, stability, and sovereignty. He affirmed complete support for all measures taken by the Kingdom to protect its people and territory, emphasizing that the security of Saudi Arabia and its holy sites is integral to the collective security of the GCC, with any threat to Saudi Arabia being a threat to all GCC member states.
