Manama:The Kingdom of Bahrain has issued a strong condemnation against the continued Houthi terrorist attacks targeting Saudi Arabia. These attacks involve the deployment of ballistic missiles and drones aimed at regions including Makkah Al Mukarramah, Riyadh, and both Eastern and Southern areas. This escalation follows recent targeting of the Madinah Region, where missile shrapnel landed in populated zones.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs has labeled these repeated Houthi attacks as a violation of Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and international law, posing threats to civilian safety and infringing on sacred Islamic sites. The Ministry praised the Royal Saudi Air Defence Forces for their effective interception of these threats.
The Ministry reaffirmed Bahrain’s full solidarity with Saudi Arabia, supporting all actions taken to protect its sovereignty and security, as well as its right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter. It underscored that the security of Saudi Arabia is crucial to Bahrain's and the Gulf Cooperation Council's collective security.
Furthermore, Bahrain is urging the United Nations Security Council to take decisive actions to stop the Houthi attacks, protect religious sites and civilians, and hold accountable those responsible. The Ministry emphasized the importance of implementing UN resolutions, particularly Resolution 2216 (2015) and Resolution 2817 (2026), to end support for proxy groups in the region and maintain regional and global peace and security.
