Egypt Voices Solidarity with Saudi Arabia, Condemns Houthi Drone Attack

On Monday, Egypt strongly condemned the “Iran-backed Houthi terrorist militias’ targeting of a school” in Saudi Arabia’s Asir with an explosive-laden drone, according to a statement by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

It also reiterated its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia, and its continuous support for all measures taken by the Kingdom to preserve its security and stability and to protect the safety of its citizens in the face of these cowardly, heinous terrorist acts.

The ministry confirmed that these recurrent systematic terror attacks by the Houthis reflect their blatant disregard for the international community and all international laws and norms, according to WAM.

Saudi Arabia’s civil defense in Asir region said a Houthi drone had landed on a school without causing any injuries, according to a statement.

Civil defense authorities had received a report that a projectile launched from Yemen by the Iran-backed Houthis had fallen on a school in Asir.

Egypt has also 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.”

The continued threat of these attacks in recent days is a grave escalation that represents new evidence of these militias’ attempts to undermine security and stability in the region, the statement added.
