The Houthi militia's attacks on cities and civilian infrastructure in southern Saudi Arabia have sparked widespread condemnation throughout the Arab and Islamic world.

Other Arab nations echoed this sentiment, with Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Egypt and the UAE condemning the attacks and affirming their support for Saudi Arabia.
