Information Minister Salman Al-Dosari said Saudi Arabia is fully prepared to defend its territory, protect its citizens and residents, and respond to any threats regardless of their source, adding that life in the Kingdom continues as normal.

Speaking at a government press conference, Al-Dosari stated that the country faces a terrorist militia that has repeatedly shown disregard for international laws and ethical and religious principles. He noted that attacks targeting the Two Holy Mosques, the holiest sites, civilians, and vital infrastructure highlight the nature of this group and make vigilance and preparedness a shared responsibility.

He added that the Houthis’ terrorist behavior, including extending their attacks to pilgrims and visitors to the Two Holy Mosques who fill the Kingdom’s airports, means that any targeting of these airports puts innocent people traveling to Makkah and Madinah at risk.
