The accident occurred on Tuesday (April 28, 2026) morning local time in Madinah, Saudi Arabia. Light injuries affected seven pilgrims from group JKS-01, two from SUB-02, and one KBIHU staff member.
Moh. Hasan Afandi issued the warning to Media Center Haji (MCH) staff on Wednesday (April 29, 2026). "All KBIHU must coordinate with officials, comply with regulations, and prioritize pilgrim safety in every activity," he said.
