Cairo, November 12 (KUNA) -- The Arab League strongly condemned on Thursday the continued attacks by the Houthi militia on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, calling on the UN Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities and counter these attacks. In a statement, the League said that the launch of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones toward several areas of the Kingdom, including Makkah al-Mukarramah, Riyadh, and the Eastern and Southern regions, reveals the Houthi militia’s determination to threaten the Kingdom’s security and endanger civilian lives. It stressed that targeting Saudi territory, including areas housing Islamic holy sites, constitutes a blatant violation of the Kingdom’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as a breach of international law and the UN Charter. It also noted that such actions infringe upon the sanctity of holy sites and provoke the sentiments of Muslims worldwide. The League commended the efficiency and vigilance of Saudi air defenses in countering and thwarting these attacks, which contribute to protecting civilians and safeguarding the Kingdom’s security. It reaffirmed its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its steadfast support in the face of any threats to its sovereignty and stability, backing all legitimate measures and actions taken by the Kingdom in accordance with international law to protect its territory, citizens, and residents. The League warned that the continuation of these attacks exacerbates tensions, undermines efforts to contain escalation, and threatens the security and stability of the region. It called on the UN Security Council to fulfill its responsibilities in countering these repeated attacks and ensuring the full implementation of its relevant resolutions, notably Resolutions 2216 (2015) and 2817 (2026), to put an end to these practices that threaten the security of Arab states and regional and international peace and security.
