Pakistan Condemns Houthi Attack on Madinah Power Station, Reaffirms Saudi Ties

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has strongly condemned the recent attack by Houthi militia targeting the Tayba electricity station in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, reiterating its unwavering solidarity with the Kingdom. Foreign Office Spokesperson Sajjad Haider Khan issued a formal statement on behalf of the government, expressing deep concern over the threat to regional peace and security posed by such hostile actions.

In the official statement, the spokesperson emphasized that Pakistan stands firmly with the leadership and people of Saudi Arabia against any threats to its sovereignty and territorial integrity. “Pakistan strongly condemns the attack on the Tayba electricity station in Madinah and reiterates its full support for the security of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” the Foreign Office stated, highlighting that targeting critical civilian infrastructure is a grave violation of international law.

The condemnation reflects Pakistan’s long-standing defense and strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia, a key ally and economic partner. Analysts note that such attacks on vital energy infrastructure not only threaten Saudi national security but also pose a risk to global energy markets and regional stability. Islamabad has consistently advocated for peaceful resolutions to conflicts in the Middle East while maintaining a robust security commitment to safeguarding holy sites in Saudi Arabia.

Moving forward, Pakistan plans to engage with regional partners and international bodies to advocate for diplomatic measures to curb militia violence. The Foreign Office confirmed that Islamabad will remain in close contact with Riyadh to monitor the security situation and explore collaborative avenues to counter asymmetric security threats in the region.
