Pakistan condemns Houthi attempted attack on Saudi Aramco building
No casualties were reported as Islamabad demanded that the Houthis immediately stop all attacks against Saudi Arabia.
Pakistan has strongly condemned an attempted Houthi attack on a Saudi Aramco administrative building in Riyadh, the Foreign Office said in a statement on Monday.
No casualties were reported in the attempt, the Foreign Office said, adding that targeting civilian facilities showed a reckless disregard for human life and regional security.
Islamabad demanded that the Houthis immediately and unconditionally halt all attacks against Saudi Arabia, the statement said.
The Foreign Office commended the vigilance and swift response of Saudi authorities in confronting what it called an unjustifiable and unprovoked aggression.
Pakistan stands firmly with the leadership and people of the kingdom, and reaffirms its full support for all measures needed to safeguard Saudi Arabia's security, sovereignty and territorial integrity, the Foreign Office said.
The statement added that the security of Saudi Arabia is of paramount importance to Pakistan, and that Islamabad's commitment to the safety of the Saudi people remains steadfast.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed a Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement in September 2025, setting out a framework for defence cooperation between the two countries.
The Houthis, a movement based in Yemen, have carried out repeated attacks on Saudi territory during their long-running conflict involving Yemen's internationally recognized government and a Saudi-led coalition.
