Denmark condemns Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, urges renewal of sanctions

On Monday, China's foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning condemned the recent Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, expressing serious concern over the escalating conflict between Riyadh and the Yemeni group. The attacks caused heavy casualties and prompted China to call on relevant parties to avoid actions that would escalate regional tensions. Instead, Mao urged the parties to resolve their differences and disputes through dialogue and negotiation, in order to achieve peace and stability in the region at an early date.

The Houthi strike on Sunday hit Riyadh's international airport, killing one person and wounding 11. This came a day after another deadly attack, also claimed by the Iran-backed group, forced a suspension of operations at the airport. Saturday's attack was the deadliest on Saudi soil in over a decade, marking a sharp escalation in the Yemen war, where Saudi Arabia has long militarily supported the internationally recognized government against the Houthis.

The Houthis have intensified their assaults on the Riyadh airport, where three more people were killed on Thursday, along with Saudi oil facilities and tankers in the Red Sea.
