UAE condemns Houthi attempt to target Saudi Arabia

WAM

The UAE has strongly condemned the Houthi militias' attempt to attack civilian areas in Saudi Arabia with booby-trapped drones that were intercepted by the Kingdom's defence forces.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC), the UAE said that such attacks reflects on Houthis' blatant disregard for all international laws.

The ministry called on the international community to take an immediate and decisive stance to stop these recurrent acts of terror and to support measures taken by the Arab Coalition, led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to stop the Houthis from targetting civilian objects.

The UAE also reiterated its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and stressed that the security of the UAE and that of Saudi Arabia are indivisible, adding that any threat facing the Kingdom is considered a threat to the UAE.
