The UK, United Nations, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Palestine, Sudan, Al-Azhar, and the Arab Parliament have strongly condemned Houthi militia attacks targeting Saudi Arabia’s Abha and King Khalid airports, reaffirming their rejection of attacks on civilian infrastructure and calling for regional security and stability to be maintained.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) affirmed that the United Kingdom stands alongside Saudi Arabia in the face of reckless attacks by the Houthi militia.
Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General Stéphane Dujarric denounced the attacks and said during the daily press briefing that attacks targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure are prohibited under international humanitarian law.
Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, the Palestinian Presidency, Sudan, Al-Azhar and the Arab Parliament also issued statements condemning the terrorist attacks against Saudi airports and civilian facilities.
They said the attacks are a flagrant violation of international law, threatening Saudi Arabia’s security and stability, and seek to undermine the security and stability of the entire region.
They reaffirmed support for Saudi Arabia and called for an immediate halt to the attacks and respect for states' sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) had said that three people were killed and 36 injured in two separate attacks on its Abha International Airport and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Tuesday and Wednesday.
