Dhaka, 20 January :

Bangladesh strongly condemns the Houthi militias latest launch of eight explosive drones on
17 January towards the southern part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This attack is an escalation of
hostility and aggression on the part of the Houthi militias adding to further tension in the region.
Bangladesh feels that the recent sporadic drone attacks targeting innocent civilians and civilian
establishments both in the Kingdom and the UAE constitute an unlawful and cowardly act of
terrorism. Bangladesh also denounces that such deliberate and insensible acts are a flagrant violation
of international law and norms of civilized behavior.

Bangladesh remains steadfastly committed towards all efforts for maintenance of peace and
stability in the region.
