Egypt has condemned in the strongest terms a ballistic missile attack carried out by Houthi militias in Yemen against Saudi Arabia, which the Kingdom successfully intercepted on Saturday, the country's Foreign Ministry has said.

In a statement, the ministry said that the Egyptian government and people stand with the government and the people of Saudi Arabia, and back all measures the Kingdom's government is taking to preserve its security and stability in the face of this brutal aggression.

The Foreign Ministry said that the attacks which target the security and stability of the Kingdom and the region will increase the resolve of the Arab coalition countries to restore the legitimacy in Yemen.
