RABAT, Morocco: King Mohammed VI of Morocco has strongly condemned the repeated attacks carried out by the Houthi militia against Saudi Arabia.
The attacks targeted civilian and economic facilities, vital installations, cities and residential areas, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Sunday.
The Moroccan King noted the attacks have not been limited to targeting facilities and civilians. They have gone beyond that to desperate and criminal attempts to target the holiest places on earth and those held most sacred in the hearts of every Muslim: Makkah and Madinah.
The UN Security Council, Muslim countries and regional organisations have also condemned the Houthi attacks targeting Saudi Arabia.

“These despicable attacks and desperate attempts to undermine the security, stability and well-being of the proud Saudi people are not merely an assault on the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its people and the Umrah performers there; they are also a blatant assault on the sentiments of more than 1.8 billion Muslims across the world,” he said in two cables addressed to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
“They also constitute a flagrant violation of the values and principles upon which the noble Islamic faith is founded, including peace, tolerance, and the sanctity of blood, honour, and sacred sites,” he said.
“We express our condemnation of these criminal acts, for which the terrorist Houthi militias, as well as those who stand behind them, finance and arm them, bear full responsibility. We consider them all accountable before Allah Almighty, history, and international law, with the international sanctions that should follow accordingly,” the Moroccan King said.
Security and stability of Saudi Arabia
“The security and stability of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, like those of the other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, are an integral part of the security of the Kingdom of Morocco,” he noted.
King Mohammed VI added that any attack on Saudi Arabia is an attack on Morocco, because we consider standing with our brothers in Saudi Arabia and in the brotherly Arab Gulf states to be standing for truth and legitimacy, while defending their vital interests is defending our shared strategic interests.

The Moroccan King also affirmed his country’s steadfast support for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in confronting the risks it faces as a result of the actions of the terrorist Houthi militia and the regional powers backing them, which target the security of their neighbours and the wider region with a short-sighted and destructive approach.
Houthi Militia attacks undermine security of entire region
He added that these actions seek to undermine the security of the entire region, disrupt the stability enjoyed by its countries, and threaten vital maritime routes of paramount importance to the global economy and the security of international maritime navigation.
“As we share this strategic assessment with you, we reiterate that the continuation of these attacks constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and relevant UN provisions, foremost among them Resolution 2216 (2015), which calls on the militias to withdraw, surrender their weapons and cease violence, and Resolution 2722 (2024), which calls on them to immediately cease attacks on maritime navigation,” he said.
“The targeting of civilian areas, economic facilities and holy sites also constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and international conventions and norms, and cannot go without accountability or punishment,” he concluded.
