(MENAFN - Saudi Press Agency) Abu Dhabi, June 23, 2021, SPA -- The United Arab Emirates has strongly denounced the Iran-backed terrorist Houthi militia's systematic attempts attacking civilians and civil objects in the Southern Region of Saudi Arabia, with booby-trapped drones which were successfully intercepted and destroyed by the Coalition Forces in Support of Legitimacy in Yemen. In a statement by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation today, the UAE affirmed that these recurrent terrorist attacks reflect the Houthi militia's 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 of terror, which threaten critical and civil facilities in the Kingdom, the world's energy supplies, and the global economy.

The statement emphasized that the security of the UAE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are indivisible and that any threat facing the Kingdom is considered by the UAE a threat to its security and stability. --SPA 00:50 LOCAL TIME 21:50 GMT 0003 MENAFN23062021000078011016ID1102336555
