Pakistan Condemns Houthi Attack on Aramco Building in Riyadh, Demands an Immediate and Unconditional Halt to All Attacks on Saudi Arabia
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan's Foreign Office said in a statement on November 9 that it strongly condemned the Houthi attack on a Saudi Aramco administrative building in Riyadh, and demanded that the Yemeni group immediately and unconditionally cease all attacks against Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia's energy ministry said the Aramco building in Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District was targeted in an attempted attack on November 8 that damaged the skyscraper; the Houthis claimed responsibility. No casualties were reported. Pakistan's Foreign Office said targeting civilian infrastructure demonstrated a reckless disregard for human life and regional security.
The statement also commended the vigilance and swift response of Saudi authorities, said Saudi Arabia's security remains of paramount importance to Pakistan, and pledged full support for all measures necessary to safeguard the kingdom's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed a Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement in September 2025, setting out a framework for defence cooperation. The Aramco tower in the financial district was damaged in the missile attack, and the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted several missiles on Sunday.
