UAE states support for Saudi Arabia after Houthi airport attacks

The United Arab Emirates has expressed strong condemnation of Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabian airports, vowing full support for Riyadh's response. On Wednesday and Thursday, three people were killed in Houthi assaults on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Abha International Airport in the south, causing disruptions to flights at King Khalid.

Saudi Arabia's coalition announced a "comprehensive operation" targeting 82 Houthi military sites in Yemen in response to the strikes. The UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly denounced the attacks, calling them a blatant breach of Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and a threat to its security. The ministry affirmed the UAE's entire solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its backing for all retaliatory actions.

The Indian Foreign Ministry also voiced condolences to the victims' families and extended sympathy to the injured, while France reaffirmed its solidarity with Saudi Arabia's defense of its territory and infrastructure. Last month, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan urged for a comprehensive political resolution in Yemen and denounced Houthi missile and drone assaults against his nation and commercial vessels, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive agreement to restore stability in the region.
