India condemns attacks attributed to Iran-backed Houthi forces on Saudi Arabia that injure civilians and target critical infrastructure. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, says the actions are “unacceptable” and have undermined regional security and stability.
Jaiswal also links the strikes to risks for international shipping, saying they threaten freedom of navigation in the Bab-el-Mandeb, a key maritime chokepoint. One report specifies that the attacks injure more than 70 civilians, while another focuses on damage to Saudi oil installations. Both outlets cite the same official Indian condemnation and framing around regional security and maritime safety, without adding further detail on casualties or operational specifics beyond those points.
