Somalia condemns the Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia
MOGADISHU, Somalia – The Federal Republic of Somalia joined Arab nations in condemning Houthi’s attack on Saudi Arabia’s Khamis Mushait with two ballistic missiles and a bomb-laden drone.
Somalia confirmed that these systematic terrorist attacks by the Houthi group reflect its blatant disregard for the international community and all international laws and norms, the Foreign Ministry said.
The Iranian-backed Houthi rebel group announced on Friday that it was targeting the six-drone Aramco oil company, which Saudi Arabia said was an attempt to target non-combatant and civilian structures.
The Houthis, who control large areas of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, have intensified missile and drone strikes on the Kingdom and have sparked condemnation from regional and international allies.
Yemen, the poorest Gulf nation, has been plagued by violence and instability since 2014, when Houthi rebels captured much of the country, including the capital Sanaa from the UN-recognized government.
