The European Union has condemned an alleged Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which resulted in at least 12 deaths and over 300 injuries. The attack, carried out by Iran's proxies, has been described by EU leaders as a "dangerous escalation" and a "spiral of violence" that threatens to destabilize the region.

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen urged the Houthi group to cease targeting civilian infrastructure, emphasizing that such acts are "pushing the region into a spiral of violence" and causing global shockwaves through their impact on critical transport and energy nodes. The EU has expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia in the wake of the incident.
