NEW YORK — The United Nations condemned the Houthi attack on Abha International Airport in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, stressing that it will continue to condemn attacks on civilian infrastructure.

Answering a question during Thursday's press briefing about the United Nations' comment regarding Houthis' repeated violations of the Security Council resolution, Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General said, "International law is very clear that civilian infrastructure should never be targeted."

"We are also concerned about the renewed fighting and casualties that we see around Marib, and I think it is very important for all parties involved to renew their commitment to the political process," Dujarric added.

Arab Interior Ministers

condemns Houthi actions

In Tunis, the Secretariat General of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers has condemned the repeated terrorist operations and the continuous provocative attempts by which the Iran-backed Houthi militia seeks to target civilians and civilian objects in the territories of Saudi Arabia, citing the latest launching of a bomb-laden drone by the Houthi militia towards the city of Khamis Mushait, successfully intercepted and destroyed by the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen.

In a statement, the Council of Arab Interior Ministers described these actions by the Houthi militia as "systematic hostile practices", which represent war crimes that must be stopped and accountable.

The Council of Arab Interior Ministers reiterated its support for all measures taken by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to ensure the security and safety of its facilities, citizens and residents on its territories. — SPA
