Yemen voices full support for Saudi Arabia, condemns Houthi attack on King Khalid airport

The Yemeni government has shown full support for Saudi Arabia after a Houthi attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. The Yemeni government strongly condemned the terrorist attack, describing it as a dangerous escalation that threatens the Kingdom's security and endangers civilians. The statement from the Cabinet emphasized that targeting airports and civilian facilities is an unacceptable attack on state security, stability, and a violation of international laws.

Yemeni officials stressed that Saudi Arabia's security is intertwined with Yemen's and the region's, and any attack on Saudi territory or civilians is an assault on regional rights to security and safety. The Yemeni government affirmed that such attacks will not weaken the strong ties between the two nations or Yemen's commitment to combat terrorism and threats to Saudi security.

The statement noted that the Houthi militia's actions, including shelling cities, planting landmines, and kidnapping civilians, are part of Iran's expansionist agenda to destabilize Yemen and the region. The Yemeni government reiterated its gratitude for Saudi Arabia's critical role in supporting Yemen's legitimate leadership and restoring state institutions, while calling for practical international measures to protect civilians and maintain regional stability.
