ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday condemned the latest missile attacks on the Saudi cities of Riyadh and Najran, carried out by the Houthi militia in Yemen.
“The successful interception of the missiles by Saudi forces prevented loss of innocent lives and is commendable,” Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry said.
On Wednesday, two ballistic missiles were fired at Riyadh, but air defenses intercepted one of them while the other crashed into a desert area south of the capital. On May 6, air defenses intercepted two ballistic missiles fired at Najran.
“Pakistan reiterates its solidarity with the Saudi leadership and people, and stands by Ƶ against any threats to its territorial integrity,” the ministry said.
“The increasing frequency and ferocity of the missile attacks, targeted at innocent civilians by Houthi rebels, pose a threat to regional peace and security.”
