Qatar condemns Houthi attacks on civilian, economic sites in Saudi Arabia

Qatar has strongly condemned the Houthi group's targeting of civilian and economic sites in Saudi Arabia, describing the attacks as a "dangerous escalation" threatening regional security. The Qatari government reiterated its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia.

The attacks, claimed by Yemen's Houthis, wounded more than 70 people and ignited fires at several oil facilities and utilities in Saudi Arabia's southern region, according to authorities. The targeted sites included Abha International Airport, King Khalid air base, and Aramco facilities in Abha and Jazan.

The attacks come after weeks of escalating clashes between the Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces in Yemen, which shattered a four-year truce in the country's civil war, NPR reported.
