DUBAI: The UAE government has strongly denounced the Houthi militia’s attempt to target non-combatants and civilian structures on Saudi Arabia’s Khamis Mushait with two ballistic missiles and a bomb-laden drone.
UAE affirmed that these systematic terrorist attacks by the Houthi group reflect its blatant disregard for the international community and all international laws and norms, state news agency WAM reported, citing a statement from the foreign affairs ministry.
The ministry also urged the “international community to take an immediate and decisive stance to stop these repeated acts, which threaten security and stability in the Kingdom, stressing that the continued threat of these attacks in recent days is a grave escalation that represents new evidence of these militias’ attempts to undermine security and stability in the region.”
The Iran-backed Houthis have intensified missile and drone attacks on the Kingdom, sparking condemnation from regional and international allies.
“The security of the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are indivisible, and that any threat facing the Kingdom is considered by the Emirates a threat to its security and stability,” the UAE foreign ministry said.
