Bahrain Strongly Condemns Continued Terrorist Attacks on Civilian and Vital Facilities in Saudi Arabia

Manama -- The Kingdom of Bahrain expressed its strong condemnation and deep outrage today, Sunday, over the continued heinous attacks launched by the Houthi terrorist militia against the sister Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including the firing of ballistic missiles and drones toward the capital, Riyadh, and the southern region, as well as attempts to target an administrative building belonging to Aramco. In a statement, the Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs deemed these attacks a blatant violation of the Kingdom’s sovereignty and of international law and international humanitarian law, affirming Bahrain’s full solidarity with the sister Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its complete support for all measures taken to safeguard its sovereignty, security, and stability, and to protect its citizens and residents on its territory, as well as its right to self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. It further emphasized that the security of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an integral part of the security of the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Gulf Cooperation Council system, commending the effectiveness of Saudi air defenses in countering and thwarting these attacks. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs renewed Bahrain’s call upon the UN Security Council to take firm measures to halt the repeated terrorist attacks by the Houthis, hold perpetrators and their supporters accountable, and ensure the implementation of relevant Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolutions 2216 and 2817, thereby guaranteeing the protection of civilians and critical infrastructure and preserving regional and international security and stability.
