The United Arab Emirates has strongly denounced the terrorist Houthi militia's attack on King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Airport in Jizan with a bomb-laden drone, which was intercepted by the Coalition Forces.

In a statement issued today by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC), the UAE affirmed that the thwarted attack on the airport, which led to several civilian injuries, is "a cowardly terrorist act and a war crime that threatens the security, safety and lives of civilians. It requires the Saudi-led Coalition Forces to take all necessary measures to protect civilians from the Houthis and end their threats to the region".

The UAE has renewed its full solidarity with the Kingdom over these subversive terrorist attacks and reiterated its stand against all threats to the Kingdom's security, stability, and the safety of its citizens and residents.

The statement emphasised that the security of the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are indivisible, and that any threat facing the Kingdom is considered by the Emirates a threat to its security and stability.
