Morocco’s King Mohammed VI Condemns "Ignoble" Terrorist Attacks on Saudi Oil Facilities

In his message sent to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques of Islam, King Salman Ibn Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Moroccan sovereign firmly condemns "these abject acts that aim to undermine the security, stability and tranquility" of Saudi Arabia.

Mohammed VI reaffirms "the total solidarity and constant support of the Kingdom of Morocco to the sister Saudi Arabia to face all threats and aggression targeting this country, whatever their forms and justification", it is also indicated in this message broadcast by the MAP.

The king "implores the Almighty to preserve the Custodian of the Holy Places and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from all misfortune", it is also written.

On Tuesday morning, two pumping stations were targeted by armed drones, causing a fire and minor damage inside a station. The incident was quickly brought under control, but tensions have risen further between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi rebels in Yemen, as well as with Iran.

In retaliation, the Saudi-led coalition (of which Morocco is no longer a part) carried out a series of air raids on the Yemeni capital Sanaa.
