ABU DHABI / WAM

The United Arab Emirates has condemned the Houthi militias’ attempts to target the city of Jazan in the Kingdom Saudi Arabia with six ballistic missiles.
In a statement issued on Monday, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation reiterated its full solidarity with the kingdom over these terrorist attacks targeting civilians, affirming its support of all measures taken by Saudi authorities to secure the country’s security and stability, as well as any actions taken in the face of extremism and terrorism.
The ministry pointed out that these continuous attacks illustrate the danger facing the region from the Houthi coup in Yemen, and stressed the need to continue to confront them [Houthis] to ensure security and stability in the region.
Meanwhile, the joint forces of the Arab coalition in support of the legitimate government in Yemen on Monday morning intercepted and shot down a drone in Yemeni airspace launched by the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia from Al Jowf towards the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Coalition Spokesman Colonel Turki Al Maliki said that all drone operations attempted by the terrorist Houthi militias are doomed to fail and that the coalition follows rules of engagement to prevent civilian casualties when responding to any threats.
He added that those, “repeated terrorist attempts reflect the despair of the terrorist militia and confirm the criminality of Iran’s proxies and those who stand behind them in the region,” and that their daily losses are causing a state of social and popular discontent towards them.
