By Timour Azhari and Jana Choukeir RIYADH, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Windows were blown out across several floors of Saudi oil giant Aramco's corporate office in the heart of the financial district of the capital Riyadh on Sunday by what the energy ministry said was debris from an attempt to attack the building.
Qatar has vociferously denounced ongoing Houthi assaults on Saudi Arabia, including the most recent strike on Riyadh, and reasserted its complete allegiance to the Kingdom. In a statement released on Monday, Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs described these attacks as despicable acts of aggression, a reckless disregard for civilian lives, and a flagrant breach of Saudi sovereignty and international law.
The ministry emphasized that Doha unequivocally rejects attacks on civilian sites and civilians, emphasizing the pressing need to cease such reckless actions immediately. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also reiterated Qatar's unwavering support for Saudi Arabia and its backing for all lawful actions the Kingdom undertakes to preserve its sovereignty, security, territorial integrity, and interests.
The ministry stressed that the security of Saudi Arabia is an essential component of Qatar's security and the collective security of the Gulf Cooperation Council states.
