The UAE strongly condemned the hostile attack targeting Jordan with a drone on Tuesday.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Mofa) affirmed that this hostile attack constitutes a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of Jordan and a threat to its security and stability.

The authority reiterated the UAE’s full solidarity with the Hashemite Kingdom and its support for all measures aimed at safeguarding its security and stability.
