The Turkish ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Emrullah Isler, affirmed Turkey’s support for Saudi Arabia amid escalating attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi militia. The remarks came after multiple strikes targeting Saudi infrastructure, including a missile and drone attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on October 10, which killed at least 13 people and injured dozens.
The Houthi attacks have continued with another strike on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, resulting in two deaths. The Turkish ambassador condemned these attacks as unlawful and inhumane, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s stance. The Houthi militia, backed by Iran, has been accused of targeting civilian infrastructure and escalating regional tensions.
Human Rights Watch reported that the Houthis are restricting access to essential supplies like food, water, and medicine in the besieged Yemeni city. This has raised concerns about the humanitarian impact of the conflict. The situation highlights the complex regional dynamics involving Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the Houthi rebels.
The conflict in Yemen, fueled by external support, has led to prolonged instability. The recent attacks on Saudi airports underscore the ongoing threat posed by the Houthi militia, which continues to challenge regional security. The international community remains closely monitoring the developments as the situation escalates.
