The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Saturday the start of the arrangement for the evacuation of Saudi citizens and several nationals of friendly countries from Sudan to the Kingdom.

In a statement, the Ministry said the measure comes in implementation of the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz.

Sporadic shelling rang out late on Friday in Sudan's capital even though warring factions announced a truce.

The United Nations, US, UK, Japan, Switzerland, South Korea, Sweden and Spain have said they were making preparations or attempting to remove their personnel after almost a week of violence.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned the “heinous” attacks carried out by Iran and its proxies on a number of vital facilities in Kuwait.

A ministry statement said on Saturday that “the Kingdom reiterates its categorical rejection of these attacks,” which undermine Kuwait’s sovereignty and constitute a flagrant violation of international law and the UN charter.

“Such violations erode international efforts aimed at restoring security and stability in the region,” said the statement.

The ministry called on Iran and its proxies to “cease all hostile acts against Arab and Islamic countries” and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817.”

The Kingdom also expressed its full solidarity with Kuwait, its government and people, and reaffirmed its full support for all measures undertaken by Kuwait to safeguard its sovereignty, security and stability.
