Egypt strongly condemned a drone attack launched by the Yemeni Houthi militia Thursday on the Saudi airport of Abha.

The Houthi attack, intercepted by the Saudi defense forces, left a number of people injured.

According to a statement released by the Foreign Ministry, Egypt renewed its rejection of all cowardly terrorist acts that pose a real threat to Saudi Arabia’s security and stability and constitute a blatant violation of the rules of international law, along with undermining the air traffic.

The statement stressed Egypt’s full solidarity with Saudi Arabia in all measures it takes to preserve the Kingdom’s security and stability, as well as ensuring the safety of its nationals and residents.

Egypt wished a speedy recovery for the wounded, the statement concluded.
