The UN condemned the Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia's Abha International Airport, emphasising that it will continue to condemn attacks on civilian facilities.

During a news conference on Thursday, Stéphane Dujarric, the UN Secretary-spokesperson, General's responded to a question about the UN's statement on the Houthis' repeated violations of the Security Council resolution, saying, "International law is very clear that civilian infrastructure should never be targeted."

"We are also concerned about the renewed fighting and casualties that we see around Marib, and I think it is very important for all parties involved to renew their commitment to the political process," Dujarric added.

The Council of Arab Interior Ministers' General Secretariat in Tunis has condemned the repeated terrorist operations and ongoing provocative attempts by the Iran-backed Houthi militia to target civilians and civilian objects in Saudi Arabian territory, citing the most recent launch of a bomb-laden drone by the Houthi militia towards the city of Khamis Mushait, which was successful.

The Council of Arab Interior Ministers described the Houthi militia's acts as "systematic hostile behaviours" that must be stopped and held accountable, according to a statement.

The Council of Arab Interior Ministers reaffirmed its support for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's efforts to maintain the security and safety of its facilities, citizens, and communities.
