Cooperation Council Secretary General condemns continued Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, including the latest ballistic missile launch toward Riyadh

The Secretary-General of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC), Jasem Mohamed AlBudaiwi, condemned in the strongest terms on Saturday the continued attacks by the terrorist Houthi militia against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, most recently the launch of a ballistic missile toward the city of Riyadh, in addition to targeting several other cities within the Kingdom.

In a statement, AlBudaiwi said that the persistent and futile attempts by the terrorist Houthi militia to target civilians and infrastructure in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reveal its aggressive and treacherous approach and necessitate a firm international stance to deter these unacceptable attacks.

He reaffirmed the GCC and its member states’ unified stand alongside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and their full support for all measures it takes to protect its security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, emphasizing that any targeting of the Kingdom constitutes a threat to the security and stability of the region.
