Qatar has strongly condemned attacks that aimed to target oil facilities in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Region with drones launched from Iraqi territory, considering them “a blatant violation of Saudi sovereignty and a threat to its security, stability, and the safety of its lands”, as well as a flagrant breach of international law.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms the State of Qatar’s full solidarity with the sister Arab Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and its support for all legitimate measures it takes to preserve its sovereignty, security, and the safety of its lands,” the foreign ministry says in a statement posted on X.
