The United Arab Emirates has condemned a Houthi attack on a Saudi Arabian airport, reaffirming its support for the kingdom’s security measures. The attack, which targeted a civilian airport in Saudi Arabia, occurred amid ongoing tensions in the region. The UAE’s foreign ministry issued a statement expressing its solidarity with Saudi Arabia’s efforts to safeguard national security.
Saudi Arabia has suspended all flights at Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport following the incident. The ministry confirmed that the attack was carried out by the Houthi group, which has been accused of launching multiple strikes against Saudi territory. The UAE’s stance aligns with broader international condemnation of the Houthi attacks, which have escalated in recent months.
The conflict in Yemen, which began in 2015, has seen the Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, clash with Saudi Arabia and its allies. The UAE has been a key player in the coalition supporting Saudi Arabia’s military operations in Yemen. The recent attack has intensified calls for a political resolution to the conflict, though no such agreement has yet been reached. The Houthi group has denied responsibility for the attack, while Saudi Arabia has accused them of continuing to target civilian infrastructure.
