Makkah:Riyadh Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi has strongly condemned the recent Houthi terrorist attack targeting Saudi Arabia. The attack involved two ballistic missiles, which were intercepted, with debris falling in Wadi Al-Mughammas in Makkah and across Jeddah, Taif, and Rabigh governorates.

According to Saudi Press Agency, Albudaiwi emphasized that the attack showed a blatant disregard for civilian lives and safety, marking a criminal escalation that threatens regional security and stability. He highlighted that the exposure of Makkah to such risks represents a grave violation of the sanctity of the Holy Sites and a provocation to Muslims worldwide.

Albudaiwi affirmed that the security of Saudi Arabia is integral to all GCC member states, asserting their unity with the Kingdom in facing these attacks. He expressed support for all measures taken by Saudi Arabia to protect its territory and ensure the safety of its citizens and residents.

Additionally, Albudaiwi praised the vigilance and efficiency of the Saudi air defense forces in intercepting the missiles and countering the attacks. He urged the international community to adopt a firm stance and implement effective measures to halt such acts.
