The UAE has strongly condemned the Houthi militias' attempts to target a school in Saudi Arabia's Aseer with an explosive-laden drone.

In a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC), the UAE reiterated that these systematic attacks by the Houthis reflect their blatant disregard for international laws and urged the global community to take a decisive stance to stop acts that target critical infrastructure and impact global energy supplies.

The UAE also expressed full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against these terrorist acts and its unwavering commitment to opposing any threat to its security and stability.
