The Qatari government, in an official statement, condemned drone attacks on oil facilities in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia and said that the drones had taken off from Iraqi territory.

The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the action as a serious threat to Saudi Arabia’s security, stability, and territorial safety, and stressed that such attacks are inconsistent with the UN Charter, international law, and the principles of good-neighborly relations.

Doha also said it stands alongside Saudi Arabia and supports the country’s legitimate actions to defend its sovereignty and security.
