Somalia Condemns Drone Attacks on Saudi Arabia, Reaffirms Support

Somalia has condemned recent drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, reaffirming its support for the kingdom's security and sovereignty. The Federal Government of Somalia issued a statement denouncing the attacks in the strongest possible terms, expressing concern for civilian safety and backing Saudi Arabia's efforts to defend its territory.

The government emphasized that Saudi Arabia's security is essential to regional stability and the protection of international shipping through the Red Sea. It also reiterated its support for diplomacy as the preferred path to resolving regional disputes, urging all parties to exercise restraint and avoid actions that could further escalate the conflict.

Saudi Arabia sits at the heart of a critical energy and shipping corridor, with the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait serving as key gateways for global oil exports and commercial shipping. The latest attacks have raised concerns over the security of energy supplies and maritime trade routes linking the Gulf to the Red Sea.
