In a message to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, King Mohammed VI expressed his “deep sorrow” and “great indignation” and his outright solidarity with the brotherly Saudi people.

Three of the missiles were directed at Riyadh, while the four others were fired at the southern Saudi cities of Khamis Mushait, Najran and Jazan, according to the official news agency SPA.
