Syria has “strongly condemned” the attempted drone attack on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, Al Jazeera reports citing a statement posted on X by its foreign ministry.

Damascus calls the attack, which Riyadh says was launched by Iran-aligned militias from Iraq, a violation of the kingdom’s security and stability and a threat to regional security.

The ministry affirms Syria’s solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its support for all measures taken to protect its sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, reiterating its call for respect of states’ sovereignty.
