United Nations – Agencies: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned the Houthi group’s attack on King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, yesterday. The condemnation came in a post Guterres published on his X account. Guterres stated that he strongly condemns the Houthi attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Saturday, and affirmed that attacks targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure constitute “a violation of international law,” emphasizing the urgent need to halt them immediately. For his part, Hans Grundberg, the UN Special Envoy to Yemen, described the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia as a serious escalation that threatens regional security, perpetuates cycles of violence, and complicates peace efforts in Yemen. Grundberg condemned the targeting of civilian infrastructure in the Kingdom, including King Khalid International Airport, and called on the so-called Houthi militias to cease their attacks and respect international humanitarian law, including the prohibition on targeting civilians and civilian objects.
