The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has condemned missile and drone attacks carried out by Yemen's Houthi movement against Saudi Arabia, describing the strikes as a serious escalation that threatens regional stability.
In a statement, the GCC said the attacks represent "a flagrant violation of the kingdom's sovereignty and an immediate threat to civilian safety and regional stability," according to Turkey's Anadolu Agency.
The condemnation reflects continued concern among Gulf states over the security situation stemming from the conflict in Yemen, where the Houthi movement has periodically launched missile and drone strikes against targets in Saudi Arabia in past years.
Regional bodies including the GCC have repeatedly called for de-escalation of hostilities linked to the Yemen conflict, warning that continued attacks risk destabilising the wider Gulf region.
The statement adds to a pattern of GCC responses to previous incidents involving cross-border attacks attributed to the Houthi movement, with the bloc consistently framing such strikes as violations of member states' sovereignty.
Details on any casualties or damage resulting from the latest attacks, as well as any response from Saudi authorities, were not specified in the available reporting.
