The Lebanese foreign ministry has condemned the attempted attacks by Yemen’s Houthi militias on Saudi Arabia, stressing permanent support for the Kingdom.

The ministry “strongly condemned” Wednesday’s attempted terrorist attack on the Kingdom through a booby-trapped boat, and earlier, through a drone.

In a statement, it affirmed the Lebanese government’s “permanent support for the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against all what affects the security, stability and the safety of its citizens.”

The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said Wednesday it had destroyed an explosive-laden boat used by the Iran-backed group in the south of the Red Sea.

The Coalition had earlier destroyed a drone which took off from Sanaa international airport.

Syria's de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa received a delegation from Bahrain on Wednesday and met with the Bahraini foreign minister, state media reported.

The visit was the latest in a flurry of diplomatic overtures by Arab countries to Syria’s new leaders after they overthrew former President Bashar al-Assad in a lightning rebel offensive.

Like other Gulf countries, Bahrain had cut off diplomatic ties with Syria under Assad’s rule during the Syrian civil war, but it reopened its embassy in Damascus in 2018 and gradually restored ties with the Assad government.

Bahrain is the current head of the Arab summit, and days after Assad’s ouster it had sent a message to al-Sharaa offering its cooperation with the new authorities and saying, “We look forward to Syria regaining its authentic role in the Arab League.”
