Iraq on Saturday condemned drones attacks launched from Iraq against Saudi Arabia, reiterating rejection of any aggression that undermines the Kingdom's security and stability.

Saudi Arabia said earlier that the East-West oil pipeline in the Riyadh and Medina regions was targeted by several drones launched from Iraq, resulting in casualties.

Sabah Al-Numan, spokesperson for the Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces, said the Iraqi government rejects any aggression that threatens Saudi Arabia's security and stability or harms the deep-rooted and brotherly relations between the two countries.

He said the Iraqi government values Saudi Arabia's response to Iraq's efforts to contain the situation, which reflects the Kingdom's commitment to Iraq's security and stability.

Al-Numan noted that Iraqi Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Ali Al-Zaidi, has ordered an urgent investigation into the attacks and take legal action against anyone proven to be involved.

He stressed that Iraq will not tolerate any activity that jeopardizes Iraq or its relations with brotherly and friendly nations.

"Iraq reiterates that its territory and airspace will not serve as a launchpad for attacks against any state. Its policy is based on respecting national sovereignty, rejecting aggression against other nations, and ensuring that relations with its neighbors serve as a bridge for cooperation and stability rather than an arena for tension and conflict," he said.

In a phone call, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein and his Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan agreed to continue coordination to support regional security and stability.
