The Saudi Press Agency reported this month that Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Hissein Brahim Taha strongly condemned threats and attacks by the Houthi militia against Saudi Arabia. Taha described the actions as unacceptable under any circumstances and highlighted their threat to regional and international security. In the statement he noted that the moves form part of repeated assaults including a recent strike on the southern region and threats to maritime navigation. The OIC chief reaffirmed the body’s complete solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its backing for all steps the kingdom takes to protect its security and stability.
Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement condemning Houthi attacks that injured civilians in Khamis Mushait, Abha and Taif with ballistic missiles and drones. The ministry called the strikes a clear violation of Saudi sovereignty and of international and humanitarian law according to the Saudi Press Agency on September 15, 2026. It expressed Kuwait’s full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and support for measures to safeguard its security, stability and interests. The statement added that the kingdom’s security forms an integral part of Kuwait’s and the wider GCC states’ security.
The Muslim World League joined the chorus of denunciations by rejecting Houthi allegations against the kingdom. Secretary-General Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa said in a Saudi Press Agency statement that the claims were fabrications by a group responsible for widespread suffering in Yemen through attacks on civilians and infrastructure. Al-Issa pointed to Saudi Arabia’s provision of humanitarian aid, development projects and support for peace efforts in Yemen as evidence of its constructive role. He stressed that the Yemeni people remain the primary victims of the militia’s actions pursued for narrow sectarian and political aims.
Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Fahmy issued a statement condemning the Houthi use of ballistic missiles against Saudi Arabia’s southern region. Fahmy said such terrorist aggression could neither be accepted nor justified under any circumstances according to the Saudi Press Agency. He described Saudi security as a fundamental pillar of Arab national security and reaffirmed the league’s full solidarity with the kingdom’s leadership and people. The statement expressed support for all measures Riyadh takes to defend its security, stability and sovereignty.
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs separately denounced a Houthi drone launched toward Makkah on September 15, 2026, which air defense forces intercepted before it entered restricted airspace. The ministry called the attempt a provocation to Muslim sentiments worldwide and a repeat of earlier violations against the holy city’s sanctity. It renewed calls for the international community to firmly oppose the militia’s attacks on civilian, economic and religious sites as well as threats to maritime shipping. The kingdom reiterated its right to take all necessary steps to protect its territory, citizens and the Two Holy Mosques.
These positions build on earlier unified stances by Arab and Islamic bodies that have consistently rejected Houthi escalation. The Saudi Press Agency has carried repeated expressions of support for Saudi defensive actions aimed at preserving regional stability. Officials across the statements emphasized that such attacks undermine peace efforts in Yemen and broader Middle East security.
