Saudi Arabia strongly condemned a terrorist attack that targeted Egypt’s northern Sinai, killing and injuring a number of Egyptian troops.

Five Egyptian military personnel were killed in a militant attack on Wednesday and four others were injured when armed men opened fire at a security post in the coastal area of northeastern Sinai.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated the Kingdom’s stand and full support for Egypt in its efforts to combat terrorism and extremism, the Saudi Press Agency reported early Thursday.
