Saudi Arabia, international community condemn Houthi missile attack on UAE

RIYADH, 01 February 2022, (TON): Saudi Arabia strongly condemned continued attempts by the Houthi militia to attack civilian areas and objects in the UAE, the latest of which was the launch of a ballistic missile at Abu Dhabi.

The UAE said “it had intercepted a ballistic missile fired by the Iranian-backed militia as the UAE hosted Israeli President Isaac Herzog on his first visit to the country.”

Nobody was hurt in the attack, the third in recent weeks on the UAE.

The foreign ministry said “the Kingdom affirmed its full support for the UAE against everything that threatens the country’s security and stability.”

The ministry added “the Kingdom continues to confront Houthi terrorist attempts and practices through its leadership of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen.”

The Kingdom also said it supports any measures taken by the UAE to preserve its security and the safety of its citizens and residents.
