Pakistan has strongly condemned the attack by the Houthi militia on the Taibah power distribution station in Madinah.

In a statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Sajjad Haider Khan said this reprehensible attack against civilian infrastructure supplying electricity to the Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) Mosque is a grave provocation and a matter of deep concern and anguish for millions of Muslims worldwide.

The spokesperson said the sanctity of the Two Holy Mosques and the safety of worshippers and pilgrims must be respected under all circumstances.

The spokesperson called for an immediate and unconditional end of such reckless actions that also constitute a grave threat to regional peace and security.

Sajjad Haider Khan reaffirmed Pakistan's unwavering solidarity with the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and expressed full support for the Kingdom’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and security. He said Pakistan stands firmly with Saudi Arabia in its efforts to safeguard the Two Holy Mosques, protect its people and ensure the safety of pilgrims.

He said Pakistan has been and will continue to make all efforts for achieving lasting peace and stability in the region.
