CAIRO: Egypt has expressed its condemnation of the Houthi militia’s terrorist operations against Saudi Arabia through the targeting of civilian areas and vital institutions, including the sites of energy facilities that affect the whole region.
The latest of the terrorism acts targeted the port of Ras Tanura and the facilities of Saudi Aramco in attacks by a drone and a ballistic missile, which were intercepted and successfully countered.
A statement by Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated its strong rejection of such attacks, which are inconsistent with international and humanitarian law and hinder efforts to bring peace to Yemen, and undermine the region’s security and stability.

Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated its strong rejection of Houthi attacks, which are inconsistent with international and humanitarian law and hinder efforts to bring peace to Yemen, and undermine the region’s security and stability.
Egypt said that its government and people stand with the Saudi government and people, and expressed its solidarity with the measures taken by Saudi Arabia to confront the attacks and preserve its security and stability.
In the past week, Saudi air defenses have intercepted 31 armed drone and missile attacks, mostly targeting cities in the Kingdom’s south, amid an escalation in Houthi strikes.
After the latest Houthi attacks, the coalition released footage showing an airstrike on a mobile SAM-6 surface-to-air missile system.
Other footage showed Houthi Qasef-2K drones and Samad attack drones aimed at civilian sites in the Kingdom being intercepted and destroyed.
