A Houthi drone attack damaged power equipment supplying the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday morning, marking the second such attack on the kingdom's holy cities in two weeks. The Saudi-led military coalition confirmed the use of a Houthi militia in planning and executing the terrorist act. The Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah are the two holiest sites in Islam.
