The United Arab Emirates on Saturday condemned what it described as "riots, acts of vandalism, and assaults" outside its embassy and the residence of its head of mission in Damascus.
In a statement, the UAE's foreign ministry called on Syria to uphold its obligations to secure the embassy and its staff, investigate the incident and hold the perpetrators to account.
Syria's foreign ministry said in a statement on Friday evening that it took a "firm and unwavering stance" against any attack on or attempt to approach embassies and diplomatic missions.
