Dispatches medical supplies to Yemen and offers to treat victims in Saudi Arabia.
(WASHINGTON, DC) - The government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia issued the following statement today on the terrorist attacks in Aden and Sana’a:
Saudi Arabia today condemned the terrorist attacks in Yemen as a threat to the security and unity of the country. The Kingdom has followed with great concern the painful events in Yemen, including Thursday’s aerial bombing of the Presidential Palace in Aden and adjacent areas, as well as today’s bombings in Sana’a. Saudi Arabia condemns these terrorist attacks, which will only further destabilize the security and stability in Yemen and subject its people to strife and destruction.
The Kingdom confirms that it supports the legitimacy of the government of Yemen and stands by the brotherly people of Yemen with all its resources.
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz has ordered dispatch of urgent medical aid to treat the wounded and offered to transfer victims of the terrorist attacks in Aden and Sana’a to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment.
The Kingdom stresses the importance for all political factions in Yemen who are interested in maintaining the security and stability of the country to promptly confirm that they will participate in the conference sponsored by the Gulf Cooperation Council in Riyadh.
