Tunisia strongly condemned the launch of a ballistic missile from the Yemeni territories by the Houthi militias, targeting the Saudi Capital, Riyadh.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tunisia denounced any targeting of populated civilian areas, in breach of the international humanitarian law, reiterating solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and keenness on the security of the Arabian Gulf region.

The statement stressed Tunisia’s rejection of all acts threatening regional and international security and peace, describing the ballistic missile attack as a dangerous escalation which will hamper regional and international efforts to reach a political settlement to the Yemeni crisis, which would preserve Yemen’s territorial integrity and put an end to the Yemeni people and contribute to achieving security, stability and peace in the region.
