Bahrain condemns missile attack

Manama : The Kingdom of Bahrain yesterday strongly condemned the ballistic missile attack by the Houthi militia in Yemen.

“The cowardly attack confirms the negative and dangerous role played by Iran in supporting the militias in Yemen, which undermines efforts to reach a peaceful solution. This prolongs the crisis and confirms that Iran insists on its hostile practices by providing the terrorist group with missiles that threaten peace and security in the region,” a statement said.

The Kingdom affirms its full support to Saudi Arabia against all those who threaten their security or affect their peace and stability, it said.

Bahrain also stressed its full backing of all policies and measures taken to combat terrorism and preserve the safety and security of the region as a whole.

Bahrain reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to support the legitimate government led by the Yemeni President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, through participation in the Arab Coalition for the Support of Legitimacy in Yemen, stressing the need to reach a political solution.
