Why It Matters
During the civil war in Yemen, the Houthis target Saudi Arabian territory and civilian infrastructure with ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles.
The foreign ministries of Pakistan, Bangladesh and India stated that they "strongly" condemn the attacks targeting Saudi Arabia by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen.
In the statement made on the social media account of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, the targeting of the Civil Airport was described as a "terrorist attack" and it was noted that this was a violation of international law and threatened regional peace and security.
In the statement calling for the "immediate end" of the Houthis' attacks, the following was noted:
"In line with the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement and the latest decisions taken by Saudi Arabia's Strategic Political and Defense Committee, Pakistan reiterates its unwavering commitment to the sovereignty, territorial integrity, security and stability of Saudi Arabia."
Major General Turki al-Maliki, Spokesperson of the Arab Coalition that supports the legitimate government in Yemen, stated in his statement on the social media platform of the US-based company X that the Houthis carried out a terrorist attack yesterday targeting one of the passenger terminals at King Khalid International Airport.
Maliki emphasized that there were dead and injured people among civilians and airport employees as a result of the attack, and that this situation literally constituted "a war crime" according to international humanitarian law and customary rules.
Pointing out that the action in question is incompatible with humanitarian principles, values and morality, Maliki noted that the Joint Forces Command will respond decisively to "this terrorist attack" in accordance with international humanitarian law and relevant rules.

US President Trump answered questions from members of the press in the garden of the White House before his departure for New York.
Trump: "What do you think about the Houthis' attack on Riyadh Airport?" "This is not good, it is not a good thing at all. I am not happy with it." he replied.
Trump, who did not give a definite answer to the question of whether the USA would take action against the Houthis, said, "You will see it." Noting that they are in communication with the Houthis, Trump said, "Can't the Saudis defend themselves without US forces?" In response to the question, he said, "They can defend themselves. Saudis are good warriors. But I think this attack was a terrible thing." Asked whether he had talked to Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman after the latest airport attack, Trump replied, "No, but I will talk to him," and said, "What happened in Saudi Arabia is unacceptable."
