Egypt strongly condemned the Houthi ballistic missile attack on Ƶ, an Egyptian foreign ministry statement said on Thursday.

Houthi militias fired several ballistic missiles towards several areas in Ƶ from Yemen, including Riyadh. However, all missiles were intercepted and destroyed by the Saudi military.

Egypt’s foreign ministry said that the Egypt was standing in solidarity with Ƶ, against all those attempting to destabilise it or threaten its peace and stability, state-owned daily reported.
