EU strongly condemns Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia

On Monday evening, the European Union strongly condemned the terrorist attacks launched by the terrorist Houthi militia on vital civilian and oil facilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

A statement issued by the European External Action Service in Brussels stressed that such attacks targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure with missiles and drones are totally unacceptable.

The European Union urged all parties in Yemen to engage constructively with UN Special Envoy Hans Grundberg to reach a comprehensive political agreement.

Saudi Arabia’s Aramco chief Amin Nasser said on Monday that escalating attacks by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis against oil installations in the Kingdom should be a global concern at a time when the oil market was tight.

He was referring to a statement that came out on state news agency SPA that Saudi Arabia would not bear responsibility for any shortage of supplies as a result of Houthi attacks.

On Saturday night and Sunday, The Arab coalition to support the legitimate government in Yemen has intercepted and destroyed four explosive-laden drones fired by the terrorist Houthi militia towards economic and civilian facilities in southern region of Saudi Arabia.

The Houthi drones, launched from the Sanaa International Airport, targeted a water desalination station, a facility of Saudi Aramco, a gas station and a power plant, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported late Saturday quoting the coalition.

The coalition added that the Houthi attacks left no human casualties, but caused some damage to civilian cars and houses, noting that the Houthi escalation shows the militia's rejection to the international efforts and initiative to reach a peaceful solution to the Yemeni crisis.

The militia’s actions have been widely condemned for their danger to civilians, regional security and the stability of global energy markets.
