YEMENI HOUTHI MISSILE ATTACK ON SAUDI ARABIA
On 27 October 2016, a Yemeni Houthi ballistic missile known as Burkan-1 was launched towards Makkah City. The missile was intercepted and destroyed by Saudi ground forces 65 kilometres from the city. A similar attack by the Houthis was carried out on a Saudi Airbase in Taif on 10 October.
Malaysia condemns the attacks and hopes that the perpetrators will be brought to justice. The attacks are a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and constitutes a grave threat to regional and global peace and security.
Malaysia stands firm in its solidarity with Saudi Arabia in its determination to preserve the safety and stability of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Malaysia hopes that the ongoing conflict in the region will be resolved through political and diplomatic channels.
