Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia condemn attacks by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militants on Riyadh’s international airport, calling them a “dangerous escalation” that cannot be justified. The statements are issued as the attacks continue to affect the region.
Saudi authorities report that a new attack kills one person and injures nearly a dozen on Sunday. This follows a prior strike attributed to the Houthis that killed 13 people and injured more than 300, reported by multiple outlets. All three sources describe the same group of countries—often referred to as the “R4”—reaffirming solidarity with Saudi Arabia.
Across coverage, the emphasis is consistent: condemnation of the attacks, rejection of any attempt to justify them, and support for measures to counter threats and prevent recurrence. While outlets vary slightly in phrasing, they broadly align on the identities of the condemning states and the reported casualty figures from the latest and previous incidents.
