KUWAIT CITY, Oct 8: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed, early Thursday, Kuwait\u2019s strongest condemnation and denunciation of Houthi militia\u2019s flagrant attacks on Saudi Arabia\u2019s Abha International Airport and King Khalid International Airport. In a statement, the ministry reaffirmed Kuwait\u2019s categorical rejection of the repetition of these cowardly attacks that target innocent civilians and economic and civilian objects, calling for an immediate halt of these assaults. The attacks which resulted in the killing or wounding dozens of people are a blatant violation of Saudi Arabia\u2019s sovereignty as well as international law and international humanitarian law, the statement noted. <\/p>\n
The ministry said while renewing Kuwait\u2019s absolute solidarity with Saudi Arabia and support for all measures the Kingdom takes to safeguard its sovereignty and security and protect its nationals and residents, it reiterates that the security of Saudi Arabia is an integrated part of the security of Kuwait and the GCC states. It also expressed its sincere condolences to the families of the victims, wishing a rapid recovery to those wounded. Several explosions were heard in Saudi Arabia\u2019s capital of Riyadh on Thursday, including a large blast at the city\u2019s international airport, a witness told The Associated Press, a day after the kingdom said an attack on the airport killed one person and wounded others. The blasts had an immediate effect on markets and oil prices as the price of crude jumped, and Saudi Arabia slid further into the latest front in the Iran war.<\/p>\n
Iran-backed Houthi rebels in neighboring Yemen claimed responsibility for the new attack on King Khalid International Airport, saying the ballistic missile caused damage but giving no evidence. The Saudis had no immediate comment about the claim. Saudi Civil Defense announced on Thursday that falling debris from an intercepted and destroyed ballistic missile caused material damage to a kindergarten and a medical clinic complex in Riyadh. The Civil Defense spokesperson said that teams in Riyadh responded to the incident launched by the \u201cterrorist\u201d Houthi militia, adding that standard procedures for such situations were carried out. Earlier Thursday, the official spokesperson for the Saudi-led Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Malki announced the interception and destruction of two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthi militia toward Riyadh. <\/p>\n
The Houthis have repeatedly claimed attacks against Saudi airports, military and oil facilities in recent days. Early Thursday, the rebels warned global airlines \u201cfor the last time\u201d about the potential consequences of operating in Saudi airspace, which it called a theater for its military operations. In their new statement, the Houthis also warned people in Saudi Arabia to stay away from oil facilities that \u201crepresent targets for our forces\u201d as the rebels press a blockade they recently imposed against the world\u2019s top oil exporter. King Khalid International Airport \u201cclosed again,\u201d the Flightradar24 monitor said Thursday afternoon on X not long after the blasts. \u201cLast landing 80+ minutes ago. Last take off 90+ minutes ago.\u201d <\/p>\n
Fire and ambulance crews deployed and smoke was visible, the witness said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. The witness said outgoing flights were halted and passengers were instructed to leave checked-in luggage behind and evacuate. It was not immediately clear how many flights were disrupted. On Wednesday, Saudi officials said attacks on the Riyadh and Abha airports claimed by the Houthis had killed three people – the first deaths since Saudi Arabia and allied Yemeni forces launched a major ground and air offensive against the rebels. The offensive is aimed at retaking territory that the Houthis seized a month ago along Yemen\u2019s western Red Sea coast and on the Bab el- Mandeb Strait. The rebels\u2019 presence on the Bab el-Mandeb poses a threat to the crucial shipping alternative to the Strait of Hormuz, where traffic has been curtailed due to Iran\u2019s attacks on ships. The deadly attacks in Saudi Arabia brought condemnation from countries including Britain, India, the United Arab Emirates and others amid fears of an escalation. <\/p>\n
Also on Wednesday, the spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition said forces destroyed a platform in Yemen\u2019s rebel-held capital of Sanaa that had been used to launch attacks on the Saudi capital. The AP could not independently verify these claims. Turkey and Pakistan are assessing possible air defense, electronic warfare and technical assistance for Saudi Arabia under a trilateral agreement, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said, while stressing that the deal is defensive, not offensive. \u201cTurkey will not be sending troops into another country\u2019s territory to carry out an attack,\u201d he said, adding that Ankara was trying to resolve the issue through diplomacy. Saudi Arabia has sought support from allies, including the United States, in the face of the Houthis\u2019 attacks. Pakistan\u2019s Information Ministry on Thursday said relevant authorities would provide details of any military involvement if necessary. <\/p>\n
The United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and the United Kingdom have issued strong condemnations following Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia\u2019s Abha International Airport and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which resulted in multiple casualties. The UAE Foreign Ministry described the assaults as a \u201cflagrant violation\u201d of Saudi sovereignty and a direct threat to the Kingdom\u2019s security and stability. In a statement, the ministry reaffirmed the UAE\u2019s full solidarity with Saudi Arabia, supporting all measures aimed at safeguarding the nation. It also extended sincere condolences to the victims\u2019 families and wished a speedy recovery to the injured. Egypt similarly denounced the attacks in the strongest terms on Thursday, reiterating its complete solidarity with the Kingdom against any threat to its stability. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry warned that targeting Abha and King Khalid airports\u2014killing and wounding dozens\u2014poses a danger to both the Kingdom and the wider region. <\/p>\n
The statement emphasized the need to uphold international law and respect national sovereignty, while noting that Egyptian authorities are coordinating with Saudi counterparts regarding Egyptian nationals injured in the strikes. The United Kingdom also voiced strong condemnation, specifically citing the attacks on Abha City in the Aseer Province and infrastructure at King Khalid International Airport. Stephen Doughty, Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) Minister of State for the MENA region, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, stated on X: \u201cWe strongly condemn the attacks on Abha and King Khalid International Airport infrastructure. The UK stands in solidarity with Saudi Arabia against these reckless Houthi attacks.\u201d He added, \u201cOur thoughts are with the families of those killed and all those injured.\u201d (Agencies)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
