ISLAMABAD, DNA – Pakistan strongly condemned the launch of ballistic missile by Houthis towards Riyadh that had been aimed against civilians and civilian infrastructure. The successful interception of the ballistic missile by the Royal Saudi Air Defence prevented loss of innocent lives and is commendable.

Such attacks not only violate international law but also threaten peace and security of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the region. Pakistan calls for the immediate cessation of these attacks.

Pakistan reaffirms its full support and solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against any threats to its security and territorial integrity.
