Saudi Arabia to respond after Houthi attack
Saudi Arabia has reaffirmed its legitimate right to take all necessary measures to defend its sovereignty and protect its national assets following Houthi attacks that resulted in 73 civilians, including women and children, being injured in the cities of Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan, and Najran. The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned these attacks, emphasizing that they threaten its security and stability, targeting civilian facilities and infrastructure despite ongoing peace efforts. It warned that continued Houthi targeting of civilians and infrastructure poses a serious threat and urged the international community to implement UN Security Council resolutions 2216 and 2722 to take deterrent measures against the Houthis, who are endangering maritime navigation security and regional stability. The Gulf Cooperation Council also condemned these assaults, deeming them violations of international law and calling for a decisive stance from the global community. Earlier, the Saudi-led coalition supporting legitimacy announced that the Houthis’ escalation poses a serious threat and confirmed that Saudi Arabia will undertake defensive and deterrent measures to ensure its security and assets. On the security front, attacks targeted energy sector facilities in the southern region, resulting in fires and temporary suspension of operations. Authorities continue to handle the damages and ensure the safety of the facilities and personnel.
