WAM

The UAE has strongly condemned the Houthi militia's attempted attacks on Saudi Arabia's Jazan and Najran region.

Two children were injured and homes were damaged when coalition forces intercepted the explosive drones and ballistic missiles aimed at civilians. 

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

It also stressed that the continued threat of these attacks in recent days is a grave escalation that attempts to undermine security and stability in the region.

The UAE also renewed its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia over these subversive terrorist attacks and reiterated its position against all threats to the Kingdom's security and stability.
