Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has vowed to support Saudi Arabia against any terrorist attack and reaffirmed that Islamabad will stand by Riyadh in case of any threat to the security of the Kingdom, the official media reported.

Khan telephoned Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman on Monday after drone attacks claimed by Iran-aligned Houthi rebels in Yemen targetted a huge oil processing plant in Abqaiq and the Khurais oilfield in Saudi Arabia.

State-run Radio Pakistan reported that Prime Minister Khan expressed Pakistan's support for Saudi Arabia and "its full stand with all its potentials in confronting these sabotage acts which threaten the global economy and the kingdom's security."
