The United Arab Emirates has issued a firm condemnation of the recent Houthi missile attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, labeling the strike a blatant breach of Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty and a grave threat to regional stability. In an official statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed unwavering solidarity with the Kingdom, affirming its support for any measures necessary to protect Saudi security. The attack, which tragically claimed the lives of 12 people from various nationalities and left over 300 injured, has drawn sharp international criticism.

In response to the tragedy, the Saudi-led Coalition has categorized the assault as a serious war crime under international humanitarian law, promising a decisive military retaliation. This marks the third attack on the aviation hub within a single week, forcing a temporary shutdown of airport operations and prompting the Houthi movement to issue ominous warnings for travelers and staff to avoid Saudi air facilities. As the conflict intensifies, the regional coalition remains determined to address the ongoing threats posed by the Iran-backed group.
