Pakistan condemns Houthi attempt to target Abha International Airport 

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Tuesday condemned recent attempts by Houthi militants to target Abha International Airport in Saudi Arabia, the foreign office said. 
The Arab Coalition for Legitimacy in Yemen announced that Saudi forces had intercepted two weaponized drones targeting Abha International Airport and a ballistic missile targeting the city of Najran, both launched by Houthi militias. The coalition said shrapnel was scattered across the airport when the drones were intercepted, injuring eight people and damaging a passenger plane, according to preliminary information.
This was the second Houthi attack on Abha International Airport in 24 hours.
“Unfortunately, the incident caused several injuries and damage to a civilian plane,” the Pakistani foreign office said. “We wish speedy recovery to those injured in the incident.”
The foreign office added: “We call for immediate cessation of these attacks that violate the international law and threaten peace and security of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the region. Pakistan reaffirms its full support and solidarity with the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against any threat to its sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
The Arab coalition confirmed that joint forces’ leaders were implementing all necessary measures to protect civilians and civilian objects in accordance with international humanitarian law. It also commended the efficiency of Saudi defenses, which thwarted the militants’ attempts. The coalition later said it had carried out an air strike on the launch site of the two drones.
