The Republic of Korea has expressed its solidarity with the Saudi government and people after the recent deadly attacks carried out by the terrorist Houthi group against civilian facilities in the Kingdom, and called for such acts to end at once.

In its statement, Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: “We strongly condemn the recent attacks by the Houthi rebels targeting civilian facilities, including King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.” It stressed that striking civilians and civilian infrastructure is completely unacceptable and that the hostilities must stop without delay.

The ministry noted that peace and stability in the Middle East matter to the international community, Korea included, given their bearing on global supply chains and energy security. It also offered its sincere condolences to the victims' families.
