Meanwhile, the Foreign Office (FO) has strongly condemned the “reprehensible attacks carried out by the Houthi militia” on civilian and economic facilities in Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan and Najran, Saudi Arabia.
In a statement, the FO said that the strikes were a blatant breach of the Kingdom’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
It noted that such attacks not only endangered regional peace and stability but also weakened ongoing international efforts to achieve a peaceful and sustainable settlement to the conflict in Yemen.
“Consistent with the UN Charter and international law, Pakistan fully supports the Kingdom's legitimate right to take all necessary measures to defend its territory, protect its citizens and residents and safeguard its national assets against any threat,” the statement added.
The FO said that Pakistan has been and will continue to make all efforts for achieving lasting peace and stability in the region.
