KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21 — Malaysia has strongly condemned the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, expressing solidarity with the Kingdom. The Malaysian Foreign Ministry stated that Malaysia backs Saudi Arabia's efforts to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the safety of its population, in line with the United Nations Charter and international law.
The statement was made on Monday, amid heightened tensions between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis. Saudi authorities reported a ballistic missile fired at Riyadh on September 19 was intercepted and destroyed. The Houthis also attempted to target civilians and civilian infrastructure in several locations, but their attacks were thwarted.
On September 14, Houthi missile and drone strikes on Khamis Mushait, Abha, and Taif injured 13 civilians and damaged several properties, according to the Saudi-led coalition. Malaysia reaffirmed its strong partnership with Saudi Arabia and its commitment to further strengthening this relationship for mutual benefit.
