India condemns ‘dastardly attack’ on Saudi Arabia airport that killed 12; Pakistan calls Houthi strikes ‘heinous’
Saudi Arabia-Houthi conflict: The Ministry of External Affairs called the attacks “unacceptable” and said the repeated attacks on civilians and civilian targets must cease immediately.
The Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched repeated missile strikes against airports and civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, resulting in the deaths of 12 people and injuries to over 300 others at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Sunday (October 11). The Saudi-led coalition attributed the attack to the Houthi rebels in Yemen, and India strongly condemned the "dastardly attack" as unacceptable, calling for an immediate cessation of such attacks on civilians and civilian targets.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also described the strikes as "heinous" and reaffirmed Pakistan's commitment to Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. As a result, airport operations were suspended until 9 pm on Sunday, and flights were diverted or cancelled, affecting passengers across the region.
