Saudi Arabia has condemned the Iran-backed Houthi militia’s “terrorist” attack against al-Dhabba oil terminal in Yemen’s Hadramawt governorate, the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Saturday.
“The attack is a flagrant violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2216 and of international laws and norms,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.
On Friday, the internationally-recognized government of Yemen said that its forces intercepted armed drones launched against al-Dhabba oil terminal, located in the town of al-Shihr in Hadramawt, as an oil tanker was preparing to dock.
“The attack confirms that the terrorist Houthi militia and those who stand behind it continue to target civilian and economic facilities and global energy supplies and passages,” the Kingdom’s foreign ministry added.
