Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt condemn Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport

Turkish, Pakistani, Egyptian, and Saudi Arabian officials have strongly condemned Houthi attacks on Riyadh's international airport, calling the strikes a "dangerous escalation" that cannot be justified or accepted. One person was killed and nearly a dozen injured in the latest assault on Sunday, following a previous strike by the Houthis that killed 13 and wounded over 300 people.

The regional powers, known as the R4, reaffirmed their support for Saudi Arabia and called for a complete halt to the attacks. Turkey, Pakistan, and Egypt have pledged to provide any necessary assistance to the kingdom, though Turkey has ruled out the deployment of troops or participation in offensive operations. Ankara is reportedly sending defensive and technical support to Riyadh.
