CAIRO: Egypt’s Foreign Ministry strongly condemned an attack by Yemen’s Houthi militia on the Saudi town of Samtah that resulted in the death and injury of civilians.
A Saudi and a Yemeni were killed by a Houthi projectile, and seven civilians were injured.
The ministry reaffirmed Egypt’s solidarity with Saudi Arabia against the Houthis’ terrorist attacks, which it said violate international law and are a blatant threat to regional security and stability.
The ministry reaffirmed Cairo’s “firm position in supporting the measures taken by Saudi Arabia to preserve its security and the safety of its brotherly people, and the close link between the national security of the two countries.”
Egypt offered its condolences to Saudi Arabia and the victims’ families, and wished those injured a speedy recovery.
