CAIRO — The Cairo-based Arab Parliament has condemned a drone attack launched by the Houthi militias on Saudi Arabia's Abha airport. In a statement on Sunday, Speaker of the Parliament Mishaal Bin Fahm Al-Salmi said that attacking the international airport requires an urgent international intervention to sue the Houthi group for its terrorist acts. Al-Salmi also called on the international community to take on its responsibility for ceasing Houthi frequent attacks that target civilians and threaten Arab security and stability. Al-Salami also reiterated the Arab Parliament's solidarity and support for all measures taken by Riyadh to protect its security and stability. Earlier on Sunday, the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted a bomb-laden drone launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels toward the Kingdom's southern region. On Friday, the coalition said it destroyed two drones flying toward the Kingdom's southern region and border city Najran. It also announced that it destroyed a missile fired by the Houthis toward Najran the previous day.

The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt strongly condemned on Monday the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist militia's attempt to target Abha International Airport in Saudi Arabia using an explosive drone, which was successfully intercepted by Arab Coalition forces on Sunday. The UAE reiterated its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia against all threats to civilians, affirming its support for all measures taken by Saudi authorities to preserve the safety and security of its citizens and residents, the country’s foreign ministry said in a statement. The UAE’s ministry also affirmed that the security of the UAE and that of Saudi Arabia are indivisible, and any threat facing the Kingdom is considered a threat to the security and stability of the UAE. The continuation of such attacks demonstrates the danger the Houthi coup poses to the region and further illustrates this militia's aim to undermine regional security and stability, it added. Bahrain also denounced the Houthi attacks. Bahrain’s Foreign Affairs Ministry issued a statement, saying: “Bahrain strongly condemns and denounces the Iranian-backed Yemeni Houthi militia’s attempt to target Abha International Airport in the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through booby-trapped drones, in a cowardly terrorist act that targeted the lives of safe civilians and aimed to destroy civilian facilities, which is considered a flagrant violation of international humanitarian.” “The Ministry praises the vigilance and readiness of the coalition forces that intercepted and destroyed the drone, and renews the firm supportive position of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the efforts of the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to confront all those who attempt to destabilize its security and stability and threaten the lives of civilians, citizens and residents.” “The Ministry also reiterates its full stance in support of the deterrent measures Saudi Arabia takes to address such terrorist aggressive acts in all forms,” the statement added. Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed that Egypt supports the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in confronting these terrorist acts and the measures taken by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to preserve its security and stability.
