The foreign ministry of Korea denounced the recent assaults carried out by Yemen's Houthi rebels against civilian and economic targets in Saudi Arabia. The ministry also urged for an immediate cessation of such attacks. The Iranian-backed Houthis have escalated their attacks on Saudi Arabia since the previous week, directing missiles and drones at cities and energy installations.
These attacks have resulted in the injury of numerous individuals and have caused fires and disruptions at certain energy facilities, as per reports from foreign media outlets.
The ministry expressed its condemnation of the Houthi rebels' strikes targeting civilians and economic facilities in southern Saudi Arabia, which led to several civilian casualties. The ministry stressed that attacks on civilians and civilian facilities, as well as actions that endanger the freedom and security of navigation, are never justifiable under any circumstances.
The ministry emphatically urged the Houthis to immediately halt these assaults. The ministry further emphasized the significance of peace and stability in the Middle East, including the importance of ensuring safe and unrestricted navigation in the Red Sea, from the international community's viewpoint.
