Saudi Arabia has condemned and denounced in the “strongest terms the Iranian attacks on Bahraini territories with several drones” early this morning, its foreign ministry says.

It affirmed its “categorical rejection of these attacks as a violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations” and reiterated that such “violations undermine international efforts to restore security and stability in the region”.

It also reiterated its solidarity with Bahrain and its “full support for all measures it takes to safeguard its sovereignty, security, and stability”.
