UAE Slams Houthis for Attempted Attack on Civilians in Saudi Arabia’s Khamis Mushait

The UAE slams the Houthis for attempting to attack civilians in Saudi Arabia’s Khamis Mushait.

The United Arab Emirates strongly denounced on Tuesday the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militias for attempting to target civilians and civilian structures in Saudi Arabia’s Khamis Mushait with two ballistic missiles and a bomb-laden drone, reported the state news agency (WAM).

In a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC), the UAE stressed that these systematic terrorist attacks by the Houthis reflect their blatant disregard for the international community and all international laws and norms.

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.

MoFAIC reaffirmed its full solidarity with the Kingdom over these terrorist attacks and reiterated its stance against all threats to the Kingdom's security, stability and the safety of its citizens and residents.

The statement emphasized that "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."
