PM Shehbaz condemns Houthi attack on Saudi airport that killed 12, wounded over 300

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly condemned a Houthi missile attack on Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which left at least 12 people dead and over 300 wounded. The prime minister emphasized that targeting civilian and critical infrastructure is "completely unacceptable" and represents a serious threat to regional peace and stability.

He reiterated Pakistan's commitment to Saudi Arabia's security under the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement, expressing solidarity with the kingdom. The Houthi group claimed responsibility for the strike, which was the third time this week that Riyadh's international airport was targeted. Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority reported that 309 people were wounded, with hospitals strained by the influx of wounded patients in critical condition.

The Saudi government and Yemeni authorities have been conducting airstrikes against Houthi targets in Houthi-held territory, while the Houthis claim these attacks result in civilian casualties. US President Donald Trump was asked whether Washington planned to join Saudi strikes on the Houthis, stating that the US would "look at it" as they have only recently learned of the attack.
