Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan on Thursday condemned an attempt by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi group to target Saudi Arabia’s Madina region with a ballistic missile, reaffirming full solidarity with Riyadh.
The Saudi-led coalition said its air defenses intercepted and destroyed the missile while also downing a Houthi drone over the kingdom’s Eastern Province.
In a statement, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry described the attempt as “a blatant provocation of Muslims, a reckless disregard for civilian lives,” a violation of Saudi sovereignty and a breach of international law.
The ministry reaffirmed Qatar’s full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its support for all legitimate measures taken by the kingdom to safeguard its sovereignty, security, territorial integrity and interests.
