DUBAI: Countries and organizations have condemned the extremist attacks carried out by the Houthi militia towards the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

The UAE’s defense ministry said earlier that it had shot down two Houthi missiles targeting the country on Monday, state news agency WAM reported.

An F-16 destroyed a ballistic missile launcher in Al-Jawf, Yemen immediately after the attack.

In Saudi Arabia, two residents sustained minor injuries after the Houthis fired a ballistic missile that fell in the industrial area of Ahad Al-Masarihah, Jazan on Sunday.

Bahrain said it denounced the Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia and the UAE where civilians have been targeted.

Similarly, Kuwait condemned the attacks and stressed the need for an international stance against the militia.

The Gulf Cooperation Council has further said the continued Houthi attacks reflect the militia’s rejection of all peace efforts in Yemen.
