The European Union expressed its solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on Sunday regarding the attack launched by the Houthi militia on King Khalid International Airport in the capital, Riyadh, describing it as a “horrific terrorist act.”
High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union, Kaja Kallas, emphasized in a statement posted on the social media platform X that “random attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure cannot be justified.”
Kallas confirmed that the EU remains in contact with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan to stay updated on the latest developments, offering sincere condolences to the families of the deceased and wishing a speedy recovery to the injured.
On another note, the European official stated that enhancing coordination between the EU’s maritime operation aimed at protecting navigation security and freedom of movement in the Red Sea, Aspides, and the Saudi-led multinational maritime defense coalition is “vital.”
She noted that EU foreign ministers will discuss the escalating tensions in the Middle East region tomorrow, Monday.
