The United Arab Emirates, UAE, on Saturday condemned the terrorist explosion of an oil pipeline in Bahrain.

''The UAE condemns this coward terrorist act, which seeks to undermine the security of the Kingdom of Bahrain,'' the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said in a statement on Saturday, affirming the UAE's unequivocal position against all forms of violence and terrorism.

The ministry expressed the UAE's solidarity with the Kingdom of Bahrain in whatever measures it may take to confront these terrorist acts.

It also expressed its confidence that these coward acts will not distract the government of Bahrain and its people from pursuing development and standing against desperate attempts of destruction and violence.
