New Delhi condemns attacks on civilian infrastructure after strikes on two Saudi airports leave three dead and 36 injured
NEW DELHI (MNTV) – India has condemned Houthi attacks on two international airports in Saudi Arabia that killed three people and injured 36 others.
In a statement Thursday, India’s Ministry of External Affairs denounced the attacks on Abha International Airport and King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
The ministry said targeting civilian infrastructure was “completely unacceptable.”
New Delhi also expressed condolences to the families of those killed and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
“We express solidarity and stand with the people and government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” the ministry said.
Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation said Wednesday that three people were killed and 36 injured in attacks on the two airports Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen subsequently announced that it had destroyed 82 Houthi military targets across four Yemeni provinces.
Yemen has faced years of conflict since the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, and several provinces in September 2014.
A Saudi-led coalition intervened in March 2015 to support Yemen’s internationally recognized government.
