Islamabad (January 10, 2018): Pakistan has reiterated its full support and solidarity with Saudi Arabia against any threats to its territorial integrity and Harmain Sharifain.
In a statement, Foreign Office Spokesman Dr. Mohammad Faisal condemned the ballistic missile attack by Houthi militia on Najran in Saudi Arabia.Faisal said, “Pakistan commends the government of Saudi Arabia for destroying the missile before it caused any civilian casualties. It is, however, concerned at reports that there was some damage to property.”On November 4, 2017, Saudi Arabia intercepted and destroyed a “ballistic missile” near King Khaled International Airport in Riyadh after it was launched from Yemen.KSA’s southern neighbour, Yemen has been torn apart by a war between the Saudi-backed government of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi and Houthi rebels backed by Iran.
United Nations-backed talks have failed to broker a political settlement to end the fighting, which has left thousands of people dead and injured since the coalition intervened.
