Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, and Türkiye have issued a joint condemnation of recent Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabian territory, including strikes that targeted King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. These attacks reportedly resulted in civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure. The four countries emphasized that these actions violate international law and Saudi sovereignty, posing a threat to civilian safety and regional stability.
In their joint statement, the nations called for an immediate cessation of the attacks, underscoring their solidarity with Saudi Arabia. They expressed support for measures aligned with the United Nations Charter and international law to safeguard the Kingdom’s security. The statement also held the Houthi group accountable for the attacks and their potential implications for both regional and global peace.
Kuwait also voiced its condemnation of the attacks on Saudi airports, specifically King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and King Fahd International Airport in Dammam. The Kuwaiti government called for international accountability for the perpetrators, highlighting the interconnected security interests of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the broader Gulf region.
Yemen’s Information Minister, Moammar Al-Eryani, urged international action in response to the attacks on civilian airports, warning that these incidents pose significant risks to aviation safety. He appealed to the United Nations Security Council and other international bodies to ensure those responsible, along with their supporters, face consequences.
The latest wave of condemnation follows reports of another incident at King Khalid International Airport, where an unidentified projectile struck a passenger terminal, resulting in a fire and injuries. This event occurred shortly after a previous attack that reportedly killed 13 people and injured over 300, raising concerns about escalating regional tensions and civilian safety.
