The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad also issued a statement with regard to the incident. "Pakistan strongly condemns the heinous terrorist attack on civilian areas carried out by the Houthis in Abu Dhabi today that claimed several lives, including one Pakistani National. We offer our condolences to the families of the victims and wish speedy recovery to the injured.
"Such attacks violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the UAE and pose a grave threat to the regional peace and security. Pakistan calls for their immediate cessation.
"Pakistan stands in solidarity with the brotherly people and government of the United Arab Emirates in the face of this wanton act of terrorism," it added.
