Bangladesh condemns Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia

Bangladesh yesterday strongly condemned the recent drone attacks on a gas factory and two Aramco oil plants in Saudi Arabia by Houthi rebels.

“Bangladesh expresses its concern at such repeated acts of violence by the Houthis, directed at key installations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” said a foreign ministry statement.

It said such unprovoked acts  vitiate the atmosphere and upset the balance of peace and security in the region.

“Bangladesh conveys its support to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in their efforts to bring about lasting peace and stability in the region,” the statement added.

On Saturday, Houthi rebels claimed the attack on the installations.
