An attack by Yemen's Houthi militias on Saudi Arabia’s Abha airport was denounced Thursday by Berlin, London and Paris as a "violation of international law" in a joint statement from their foreign ministries.
Germany, Britain and France "strongly condemn" the drone attack on Abha's airport, the three said, adding that "continued attacks of this nature, including those which target civilian areas in violation of international law illustrate the seriousness of the threat that the proliferation of drones poses to the stability of the region."
A drone strike launched by the Iran-backed Houthis on Wednesday left a civilian plane ablaze at the international airport in the Kingdom's southwest.
"We reiterate our firm commitment to the security and integrity of Saudi territory, and reaffirm our strong support for a swift resolution of the Yemeni conflict which will bring much-needed stability to the region," concluded the statement from "the E3."
