UAE condemns Houthis' attempted missile attack on Saudi Arabia

(MENAFN - Emirates News Agency (WAM)) ABU DHABI, 26th March, 2021 (WAM) -- The UAE has strongly condemned and denounced the Iran-backed terrorist Houthi militia's systematic and premeditated attempt to target civilians and civil objects in Najran, Saudi Arabia, with a ballistic missile, which was intercepted by the Coalition Forces. In a statement released today by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC), the UAE said the continuous terrorist attacks by the Houthi militia reflect its blatant disregard for the international community and all international laws and norms. The Ministry urged the international community to take an immediate and decisive stance to stop these recurrent acts, which target critical infrastructure and threaten the security and stability of the Kingdom, as well as global energy supplies. It also stressed that the recurrent threat of these attacks in recent days is a grave escalation that represents new evidence of this militia's attempts to undermine security and stability in the region. MoFAIC renewed the UAE's full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against these terrorist acts and its unwavering commitment to opposing any threat to its security and stability, confirming its support for any measures the Kingdom may take to preserve the safety of its citizens and residents. "The security of the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is indivisible, and any threat facing the Kingdom is considered a threat to the UAE's security and stability," the statement concluded.
