The United Arab Emirates has strongly condemned and denounced the drone attack on the Riyadh oil refinery in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

In a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) today, the UAE affirmed this attack is a cowardly terrorist act, and a war crime that requires a response against threats to the security and safety of civilians and vital facilities.

The statement called on the international community to support all necessary measures by Saudi Arabia to stop the targeting of civilians, residents, facilities and economic interests.

The ministry stated that the attack is a "threat to the security and stability of energy supplies and global oil markets at a time when the international community is facing tremendous challenges."

The UAE renewed its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and reiterated its stand against all threats to the Kingdom's security and stability, and the safety of its citizens and residents.

The statement emphasised that the security of the UAE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are indivisible, and that any threat facing the Kingdom is considered a threat to the security and stability of the UAE.
