UAE calls for decisive stance to stop Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia

UAE has strongly condemned the attempts of the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia to target a petroleum storage yard at Ras Tanura port, and Saudi Aramco's facilities in Dhahran, through a drone and a ballistic missile, which were intercepted by the coalition forces.

In a statement, the UAE ministry of foreign affairs said that this cowardly attack targeted energy supplies and security, and reflected the Houthi group’s blatant challenge to the international community and all international laws and norms.

The ministry underlined the need to take an immediate and decisive stance to stop these repeated actions that target vital and civilian installations and threaten the security and stability the kingdom.

Moreover, it stressed that the continued threat of these attacks is a dangerous escalation that proves the militias' endeavour to undermine security and stability in the region.

The UAE reiterated its full solidarity with the Kingdom regarding these terrorist attacks, and every threat to its security and stability.

The statement emphasized that the security of the UAE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are inpisible and that any threat or danger facing the Kingdom is considered by the UAE as a threat to its security and stability.

It is worth mentioning that, late Sunday, Saudi Arabia confirmed that one of its oil storage yards at the Ras Tanura port was targeted by a Houthi drone attack on a petroleum tank farm at Ras Tanura port, according to a statement from a source at the Kingdom’s Energy Ministry.

The attack did not result in any injury or loss of life or property, authorities from Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry confirmed.

“The source from the Saudi Arabian Energy Ministry said that the Kingdom affirms that these sabotage attacks are a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms, and that, to the extent that they are treacherous and cowardly targeting the Kingdom, they target, to a greater extent, the global economy,” a statement released by the Saudi Press Agency read.
