Frigate "Al-Madinah", the warship of His Majesty the King of Saudi Royal Navy Forces has docked at King Faisal Naval Base of the Western fleet in Jeddah after hit last week to a terrorist attack by Houthi militias, while on patrolling to monitor in the southern Red Sea. The warship has managed to reach Jeddah on schedule, without any delay due to the Houthi terrorist attack. Upon docking, it was received by Chief of the General Staff; Commander of Royal Saudi Navy Forces; Commander of the Western region; Commander of the Western Fleet and a number of senior naval officers of the Western Fleet. The warship's Commander explained that the frigate "Al-Madinah" was not affected by this attack and continued to patrol and monitor in the area of operations and that the frigate's stern was slightly damaged due to the collision of the Houthi terrorist boat. Chief of the General Staff expressed pride and honor of the Saudi armed forces' participation in the military operations within the alliance to support legitimacy in Yemen, by all its branches, including the frigate which was targeted by the Houthi terrorist attack while on patrolling off coasts surrounding brotherly Yemen so as to protect the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Yemen, as well as to ensure the safety of international navigation lines in the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait.
