KUWAIT: Kuwait on
Saturday denounced the drone attack which targeted the Shaybah Oil Field in the
southeast of Saudi Arabia. This action aimed at destabilizing the security and
stability of the Kingdom and the global energy supply, and requires an
international effort to avoid crises and conflicts, and more tension in the
region, said an official source in Kuwait Foreign Ministry in a statement.

The source
affirmed Kuwait's full support to Saudi Arabia and to all measures taken to
maintain its security and stability. In the meantime, Secretary-General of Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) Dr Abdullatif Al-Zayani strongly condemned the
terrorist drone attack, carried out recently by Houthi militia on Shaybah Oil
Field in southwestern Saudi Arabia.

The nonstop
Houthi attacks targeting oil facilities in the Kingdom reveal their malicious
goals in endangering global energy supplies, Dr Zayani said in a press
statement. He called on the international community to condemn these attacks
and take strong measures to stop them. Zayani described the attack on the field
as a cowardly terrorist act that threatens security and stability in the
region.

Saudi Minister of
Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources Khalid Al-Falih said on Saturday that
unmanned drones attacked one of the units of a natural gas plant in Shaybah
field, causing minor damages.
