Cyprus condemns Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia

Cyprus has strongly condemned Houthi attacks targeting civilian and economic sites in Saudi cities, calling the resulting injuries unacceptable. According to Ajel English, this condemnation comes after a series of drone attacks on Saudi Arabia.

The drone attacks, which targeted the East-West Pipeline and led to its closure, were launched from Iraqi territory, according to investigations by the Iraqi government. As a result, an Iraqi military commander was dismissed, and an investigative council was formed into the Maysan Operations Command, as reported by Saudi Gazette and Middle East Eye.

The Iraqi government has condemned the attacks and pledged urgent action to identify those responsible. They have also welcomed Saudi Arabia's decision to respond to Iraqi efforts to contain the situation. Other countries, including Qatar, have also condemned the attacks, with Qatar expressing full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and supporting all measures it takes to protect its sovereignty, security, and facilities, as reported by The Peninsula Qatar.
