PM Shehbaz condemns Houthi attacks, reaffirms support for Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and security
Says such 'dastardly attacks' threaten innocent lives as well as regional peace and security
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly condemned Houthi attacks on civilian and energy facilities in Saudi Arabia, emphasizing Pakistan's unwavering support for the Kingdom's sovereignty and security. The attacks, which targeted cities in southern Saudi Arabia and caused injuries to many, also led to fires at energy facilities, disrupting operations.
Pakistan reaffirmed its solidarity with Saudi Arabia's leaders, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and the people of the Kingdom. The Prime Minister also expressed hope for the swift recovery of those injured in the attacks. The Houthi attacks were not the first time the group had targeted Saudi Arabia's energy interests, as they had also struck two Saudi oil tankers on July 23.
The conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis came amid growing tensions between the United States and Iran, which had caused oil prices to rise.
