The Muslim World League (MWL) has issued a strong condemnation of the recent drone attack that originated from Iraqi airspace and targeted Saudi Arabia. The League not only denounced the aggression but also commended the Kingdom's swift and efficient response in intercepting and neutralizing the threat, highlighting Saudi Arabia's robust security capabilities.

In a statement released by its General Secretariat, MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa, unequivocally denounced the "criminal attacks." He emphasized that such actions violate fundamental religious values, international laws, and universally accepted humanitarian norms, underscoring the gravity of the incident and its breach of international conduct.

The targeting of Barakah is a terrorist attack on a peaceful project, built to the highest safety standards, that powers homes, hospitals, and industries across the UAE, and on the right of every nation to build, to progress, and to deliver clean energy to its people. Barakah will keep running.
