Pakistan on Wednesday strongly condemned drone strikes on two oil pumping stations on Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline and extended full support against any threat to stability and security of the kingdom.

Tuesday's drone strikes hit two pumping stations on the kingdom's east-west pipeline, which can carry five million barrels of crude per day and provides a strategic alternative route for Saudi exports if the shipping lane from the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz is closed.

Condemning the drone strikes, the Foreign Office said, Pakistan expresses its solidarity with Saudi Arabia and reiterates its full support against any threat to stability and security of the kingdom."
