Saudi Arabia summons Iraq envoy over drone threats launched from Iraqi territory

RIYADH, April 12 - Saudi Arabia summoned Iraq's ambassador on Sunday over what it described as continuing attacks and overt threats against the kingdom and other Gulf states by drones launched from Iraqi territory.


A protest note was delivered to Iraqi Ambassador Safia Taleb Al-Suhail during a meeting with Vice Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Saud Al-Sati.


Saudi Arabia condemned the attacks and said Iraq must act responsibly in addressing the threats, while reiterating its rejection of violations of state sovereignty and attempts to undermine regional security and stability.


The kingdom said it would take all necessary measures to safeguard its security and protect its territory.
