The United Arab Emirates has issued a strong condemnation of the recent Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which reportedly resulted in the deaths of 12 people from various nationalities and left hundreds more injured. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs labeled these assaults as a violation of Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty and a threat to the region’s security and stability.
In a statement, the UAE reaffirmed its unwavering support for Saudi Arabia, expressing solidarity with the Kingdom in the face of these attacks. The ministry underscored its backing for any measures Saudi Arabia may take to safeguard its territory and its citizens from further aggression.
The UAE also extended heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and wished a swift recovery for those injured in the attacks. The statement highlights the broader regional implications of such acts of violence, calling for a united front against threats to peace and stability in the Gulf region.
These developments come amid ongoing tensions and conflict involving the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who have been engaged in a protracted struggle against a Saudi-led coalition. This incident marks another escalation in the conflict, drawing international attention and prompting responses from neighboring countries.
The UAE’s condemnation is part of a wider regional effort to address the security challenges posed by the continued hostilities, emphasizing the need for a concerted approach to deter further attacks and maintain regional stability.
