The UAE has condemned the Iran-backed Houthi terrorist militias’ attempt to attack civilians and civilian objects in the southern region of Saudi Arabia with an explosive-laden drone, which was intercepted and destroyed by the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen.

In a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) on Friday, the UAE reiterated that these continued terror attacks by the Houthis reflect their 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 repeated acts targeting the Kingdom's vital installations and civilian facilities and security, stressing that the continuation of these attacks in recent days is a grave escalation and new evidence of these militias' aim to undermine security and stability in the region, state news agency WAM reported.

The UAE renewed its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia over these subversive terrorist attacks and reiterated its stance against all threats to the Kingdom's security, stability, and the safety of its citizens and residents.

On Friday, the Coalition said it intercepted and destroyed an explosive-laden drone launched by the Houthi militias towards the Saudi city of Khamis Mushait.
