Amman, July 25 (Petra) -- The General Secretariat of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi commercial vessels operating in the Red Sea, calling them a blatant aggression and a grave violation of regional and international maritime security.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the OIC said the attacks jeopardize global food and energy supply chains and pose a direct threat to international peace and security in clear violation of international law.

The Jeddah-based organization called on the international community to take firm action to halt these violations, while reaffirming its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and supporting all measures taken by the kingdom to protect its security and interests.
