Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the Houthi drone attack on the Taibah electricity station in the Holy City of Madinah, Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday, calling the strike an unacceptable assault on the sanctity of Islam's holiest sites.
The attack targeted the Taibah electricity station, which supplies power to the Prophet's Mosque, a site of profound religious significance for Muslims worldwide.
In its statement, the government said it stands in full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, defending its security and sovereignty against such aggression.
Bangladesh firmly rejected any act of aggression that harms regional peace and stability, reiterating its commitment to uphold security in the Muslim world.
The condemnation reflects Bangladesh's broader foreign‑policy stance of supporting allies and maintaining stability across the region.
The ministry released the statement on 4 October 2026, following the incident, and did not detail further diplomatic actions.
Why it matters
The condemnation underscores Bangladesh's role in supporting regional security and its solidarity with Saudi Arabia against attacks on holy sites.
