Kuwait has strongly condemned Houthis' firing of a ballistic missile against the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, Tuesday which aimed at terrorizing civilians.

"This cowardly act shows anew how the Houthis were defying the will of the international community, violating the UN resolutions, and undermining security and stability of the region," said a Kuwaiti foreign ministry source quoted by Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).

"Kuwait," said the source, "stands fully behind Saudi Arabia and supports all measures aimed at preserving security and stability." Kuwait," he added, "was committed to supporting the legitimate leadership in Yemen."

Saudi air defence forces intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis towards Riyadh, KUNA reported.
