OTTAWA — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney released a vehement condemnation of the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, specifically the devastating strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which he labeled as "abhorrent." In a statement on Sunday, Carney adamantly stated that any attack on civilian infrastructure is unjustifiable and serves no political or military purpose.
"The Houthi attacks on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and particularly the strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, are abhorrent," Carney emphasized. "There can be no justification for attacks on civilian infrastructure. No political or military objective can justify the deliberate targeting of innocent people," he added.
"Canada condemns these reckless acts of violence in the strongest possible terms. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of those killed and wish a full recovery to those injured." The attack on King Khalid International Airport, reported on Saturday, resulted in the loss of 12 lives and left 309 others injured, according to Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA).
Among the victims were four Saudi citizens, two nationals each from Bangladesh, the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Sudan.
