S. Korea condemns Houthi attacks on Saudi civilian facilities

Seoul condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi civilian facilities, urging an immediate end to such acts. The attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh killed 13 and injured over 300. The second attack the following day resulted in one death and 11 injuries. The South Korean foreign ministry called these actions "absolutely unacceptable" and reiterated its demand for a halt to hostile acts.
