MANAMA-SABA

Bahrain has strongly condemned the terrorist attack carried out by the Iran-backed Houthi militias against a vessel operated by a Saudi company in the Red Sea, describing the assault as a grave violation of international law and a serious threat to global maritime security.

In a statement carried by the Bahrain News Agency (BNA), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the attack caused a fire aboard the vessel without resulting in any injuries. It warned that such acts endanger international shipping, disrupt global trade, and threaten the security of energy supplies, in violation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

The ministry reaffirmed Bahrain's full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and voiced support for all legitimate measures taken by the Kingdom to safeguard its sovereignty, national security, stability, and vital interests.
