The Arab League has strongly condemned the ongoing attacks by Houthi militias against Saudi Arabia, including the latest assaults targeting Abha and King Khalid international airports, which resulted in casualties and injuries among citizens and residents, as well as material damage to the airports.

The League stressed that targeting civil aviation facilities and endangering the lives of travelers and staff represents a serious escalation and a blatant violation of Saudi sovereignty, as well as a clear breach of international law and the United Nations Charter. It warned of the dangers posed by the continued expansion of such attacks and their repeated targeting of civilian and vital infrastructure.

The Arab League reaffirmed its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its support in confronting any attacks that threaten the Kingdom’s security, stability, sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens and residents.
