Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Türkiye have collectively condemned the recent Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. The four nations, part of the R4 Group, described the strikes as violations of international law and a direct threat to Saudi Arabia's security, stability, and civilian safety.
In a joint statement, they reaffirmed their solidarity with Saudi Arabia and pledged support for the kingdom's countermeasures, emphasizing that such actions should adhere to the United Nations Charter and international law. The four countries hold the Houthi militia accountable for the consequences of the attacks, calling for an immediate and unconditional halt to the ongoing strikes.
This comes after the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen reported an unidentified projectile strike on Riyadh's international airport, which caused a fire and prompted Saudi air defenses to intercept a cruise missile near King Khalid International Airport.
