Arab condemnation of the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia‏

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) said it strongly condemned the attack and praised the vigilance and skill of the Arab coalition forces.

Secretary-General Yousef Al-Othaimeen said the OIC stands in “solidarity with the Kingdom in all the measures it takes to protect its security and stability and the safety of its citizens and residents.”

The UAE and Egypt also strongly condemned the attempted targeting of Abha airport, and said they stood by the Kingdom.

The UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said the “continuation of these terrorist attacks by the Houthis reflects its blatant defiance of the international community and its disregard for all international laws.”

The ministry urged the international community to take an immediate and decisive stance to stop these repeated actions targeting vital and civilian installations and the Kingdom’s security, energy supplies and global economic stability.

The Arab Parliament also condemned Houthis’ targeting of Abha International Airport. It said the continued Houthi violations reflect the Iranian agenda, which is aimed to destabilize the security and stability in the region.

Bahrain’s foreign ministry, meanwhile, affirmed its solidarity with the Kingdom. It said it supports all the measures it takes to confront extremist acts aimed at threatening the lives of Saudi Arabia’s citizens and residents.
