Yemen condemns Houthi ballistic missile attempt on Madinah, urges firm global response

Yemen’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has condemned the attempted Houthi ballistic missile attack targeting Madinah in Saudi Arabia, calling for a firm international stance against the assaults attributed to the group and for those responsible to be held accountable.

In a statement issued today, the ministry described the attempted attack as a dangerous escalation, a violation of Saudi sovereignty, and a threat to the Kingdom’s security and stability, as well as a provocation to Muslims worldwide.

The statement affirmed Yemen’s full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its support for all measures the Kingdom takes to protect its security, sovereignty, territorial integrity, citizens, and residents.

The Yemeni foreign ministry stressed the need for a decisive international response to what it described as ongoing terrorist attacks, accountability for those responsible, and action to counter the threat these acts pose to the security and stability of Yemen and the region.
