Bangladesh condemns drone attack in Saudi Arabia airport

Bangladesh has strongly condemned the Houthi bomb-laden drone attack which targeted King Abdullah Airport in Jazan, Saudi Arabia Friday wounding civilians including few Bangladeshis working at the airport.

In a press statement on Tuesday, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) of Bangladesh said such attacks are a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, moral values and completely unacceptable.

Bangladesh expresses its grave concerns over the growing number of Houthi militia attacks on Saudi Arabia which undermines the ongoing peace initiatives, it said.

While urging a peaceful resolution of Yemen conflict, Bangladesh expresses its solidarity with the government of Saudi Arabia and its brotherly people in condemning such irresponsible activities, the MoFA said.
