Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia condemn Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport

Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia condemned Houthi attacks on Riyadh’s international airport in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi authorities said Sunday’s attack killed one person and injured nearly a dozen.

A strike claimed by the Houthis the day before killed 13 people and wounded more than 300.

The four countries called the attacks a dangerous escalation and demanded they stop immediately.

They said they support Saudi Arabia’s steps to counter the attacks and prevent more.

Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed a joint defence pact in August that treats an attack on one party as an attack on all.

Turkey’s parliament has not yet ratified the pact, which is expected to be submitted in the coming days.
