  "summary": "Malaysia has strongly condemned the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, expressing solidarity with the Kingdom and supporting its efforts to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Malaysian Foreign Ministry stated that Malaysia supports all efforts towards de-escalation and an immediate end to the hostilities, in accordance with the United Nations Charter and international law. This comes as Saudi authorities reported a recent ballistic missile attack on Riyadh, which was intercepted and destroyed, as well as other attempted attacks on civilian infrastructure in various Saudi cities. Malaysia reaffirmed its longstanding partnership with Saudi Arabia and commitment to further strengthening this relationship for mutual benefits.",
