ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Foreign Office has condemned attacks on Saudi Arabia’s energy facilities in its eastern region and reaffirmed “its unwavering support for the Kingdom’s security,” according to an official statement issued on Tuesday.
The missile and drone attacks were carried out by Iran in retaliation for the US-Israel war on the country.
“Pakistan mourns the loss of life resulting from these attacks and strongly deplores the damage inflicted on vital infrastructure,” the statement said.
Pakistan offered its sincere condolences to the families of the victims and said it firmly stood in solidarity with Riyadh, the statement added.
“The Government of Pakistan considers these attacks a serious violation of Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and a dangerous escalation that undermines regional peace and stability,” the statement said.
Earlier, the Kingdom’s defense spokesperson said seven missiles were launched in the early hours of Tuesday, all of which were intercepted.
Riyadh has been attacked with hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones since Israel and the US launched the war on Iran on Feb. 28, most of which have been intercepted, according to the country’s defense ministry.
