U.S. Condemns Houthis` attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities 

Jalina Porter, Principal Deputy Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State announced that 

U.S. strongly condemns yesterday’s drone attacks against Saudi Aramco facilities southeast of Riyadh.

"We remain deeply concerned by the frequency of attacks on Saudi Arabia", she added during a press briefing.

Porter said that U.S. has seen that the Houthis claimed responsibility for these attacks and condemn the Houthis’ attempts to disrupt global energy supplies by targeting Saudi infrastructure".

She assured that that behavior showed an utter lack of concern for safety of the civilian population either working or living nearby the sites.

"International voices have called for an end to the attacks and an end to the conflict in Yemen. Last week, the United States joined the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy in condemning Houthi aggressive acts directed toward Saudi Arabia and within Yemen itself",Porter told the journalists.

Last week, the Gulf Cooperation Council called for an end to the attacks and a return to the negotiating table to resolve the conflict and bring a lasting peace the Yemeni people deserve. And the day before, the Members of the UN Security Council also condemned the Houthi offensive on Marib and the cross-border attacks against Saudi Arabia.

Principal Deputy Spokesperson mentioned that these attacks threaten peace efforts at a critical moment when the international community is showing an increasingly united front in resolving the conflict in Yemen.

She assured that U.S. call on all parties to seriously commit to a ceasefire and engage in negotiations under UN auspices, in conjunction with U.S. Special Envoy Tim Lenderking.
