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.

Deputy Interior Minister of Saudi Arabia, Dr. Nasser bin Abdulaziz Al-Dawood, said on Tuesday that the Kingdom implemented a comprehensive security campaign that successfully dealt with drug-related crimes.
He said the campaign entailed coordinated security plans involving all concerned parties.
Dawood, who led the Kingdom's delegation to the 2nd Baghdad International Conference on Countering Narcotics 2024 held in Iraq on Monday, stressed the need to strengthen efforts among the participating nations to control the spread of narcotics and to discuss mechanisms to stop drug trafficking.
He emphasized that countering smuggling and drug trafficking fall in the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 top priorities.
Dawood highlighted the Kingdom's commitment to dealing with the dangers posed by drugs to the security and stability of society by harnessing national capabilities to raise the society's awareness to this threat.
