  "account": "A Saudi-led coalition in Yemen accused Houthi rebels of launching a drone attack on a power distribution station in Madinah's city center on Tuesday morning. The spokesperson for the coalition, Turki al-Maliki, stated that the attack targeted the Taibah power distribution station at 5:11 AM local time. He said that a technical check and examination of the drone swarm confirmed the involvement of Houthi operatives in planning and executing the disruptive action, describing it as a disruptive and crippling act. The attack caused one transformer to become non-operational, but did not disrupt the overall grid electricity, he added. Al-Maliki alleged that the Houthi rebels deliberately targeted public infrastructure and sought to incite provocation against the Muslim faith by aiming at the sacred cities of Makkah and Madinah. He said the coalition would continue to take steps to counter Houthi attacks and protect the two holy mosques and visitors to Makkah and Madinah. The Houthi rebels denied involvement in the attack. According to Anadolu, a source within the Houthi-linked military intelligence told the news agency Saba that Saudi Arabian claims that the group targeted a power station in Madinah were unfounded. The earlier claim of retaliatory attacks by Saudi Arabia on Houthi targets was also denied by the group. However, the Houthi claimed responsibility for several other recent attacks in Saudi Arabia, including one targeting Saudi Aramco facilities and a military base.",
