Several Arab, Islamic, and Gulf bodies strongly condemned the Houthi terrorist attacks targeting Saudi airports, reaffirming their solidarity with the Kingdom and support for all measures taken to protect its security and civilian infrastructure.

The Muslim World League (MWL), Jordan, Bahrain, Arab Interior Ministers Council Secretariat, and GCC Secretary General condemned the latest Houthi aggression against the Abha International Airport and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh resulting in the death and injury of several individuals.

They emphasized that such acts violate religious values, as well as international and humanitarian laws and norms, and further demonstrate the criminal nature of the Houthi militia through its deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure.

They reaffirmed full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in all measures it takes to deter aggression and safeguard its security and the safety of its citizens and residents.

Later during the day, Syria, Egypt and France joined the condemnations and expressed full solidarity and support for the Kingdom’s efforts to defend its territory and infrastructure against these attacks. 

In a statement, France’s Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs called on the Houthi militia to immediately cease its attacks and provocations, warning that they further destabilize the region and exacerbate the suffering of the Yemeni people. 

Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) announced that three people were killed and 36 injured in two separate attacks on its Abha and Riyadh airports on Tuesday and Wednesday.
