Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Türkiye have strongly condemned Houthi militia attacks on Saudi Arabia, including the strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which reportedly killed 12 people and injured more than 300.

In a joint statement issued by the Foreign Office, the four countries, known as the R4 Group, described the attacks as a blatant violation of international law and Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The statement said the attacks posed a direct threat to Saudi Arabia’s security, stability and the safety of civilians. It added that such attacks could not be justified or accepted under any circumstances.
