GCC Secretary-General strongly condemns the Houthi terrorist attack targeting southern Saudi Arabia

Riyadh, July 13 (KUNA) -- Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jassem Al-Budaiwi expressed his strongest condemnation and denunciation today, Monday, of the ballistic missile terrorist attack carried out by the Houthi militia, which targeted the southern region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

In a statement, Al-Budaiwi affirmed that this cowardly attack constitutes a blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, reflecting the militia’s determination to undermine security and stability and threaten the safety of civilians and facilities.

The Secretary-General stressed that the continuation of these terrorist attacks by the Houthi militia, their violation of all international laws and ceasefire agreements, necessitates a firm and deterrent international stance that puts an end to such hostile practices and ensures accountability for those responsible, thereby contributing to the protection of regional and international peace and security.

He further affirmed that the security of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an integral part of the security of the GCC member states, and that the Council stands united with the Kingdom in all measures it takes to safeguard its security, stability, and the safety of its citizens and residents on its territory.
