ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday condemned the latest missile attacks on the Saudi cities of Riyadh and Najran, carried out by the Houthi militia in Yemen.
“The successful interception of the missiles by Saudi forces prevented loss of innocent lives and is commendable,” Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry said.
On Wednesday, two ballistic missiles were fired at Riyadh, but air defenses intercepted one of them while the other crashed into a desert area south of the capital. On May 6, air defenses intercepted two ballistic missiles fired at Najran.
“Pakistan reiterates its solidarity with the Saudi leadership and people, and stands by Saudi Arabia against any threats to its territorial integrity,” the ministry said.
“The increasing frequency and ferocity of the missile attacks, targeted at innocent civilians by Houthi rebels, pose a threat to regional peace and security.”

“Tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral,” they wrote in a post on social media.
“Europe will remain united, coordinated, and committed to upholding its sovereignty,” they added.
The statement came days after Danish and Greenlandic officials held talks in Washington over Trump’s bid to acquire the territory, without reaching agreement.
“The EU stands in full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland,” said the EU statement.
“Dialogue remains essential, and we are committed to building on the process begun already last week between the Kingdom of Denmark and the US.”
