The Kingdom emphasized that such actions are unacceptable and violate international protocols.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the Kingdom affirmed that the repeated targeting of diplomatic premises clearly contravenes the relevant international laws and norms, including the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949.
