The government of Qatar issued a formal statement this week condemning a series of ballistic missile attacks launched by Houthi forces against the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh. Beyond the capital, the condemnation also addressed Houthi strikes targeting civilian infrastructure in the Saudi cities of Bish, Taif, Farasan, and Yanbu.

In its official communication, the Qatari Foreign Ministry described the strikes as a "blatant violation" of Saudi sovereignty and a direct breach of international law. The statement served as a diplomatic gesture of solidarity with the Saudi government, with Qatar explicitly expressing its support for the "legitimate measures" the kingdom deems necessary to protect its national security and economic interests. While the report confirms the diplomatic stance taken by Doha, it does not provide specific details regarding the timing of the attacks or the extent of the damage caused by the missiles in the mentioned locations.
