The UAE on Wednesday issued a statement condemning the attack on Saudi Arabia's cultural attaché building in Sudan's Khartoum.

A group of armed men ransacked the office, vandalised the property, disabled servers, and even seized some equipment, according to the Saudi Press Agency.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (Mofaic) expressed the UAE's condemnation of such "criminal acts", rejecting all forms of violence and terrorism that seek to destabilise security.
