The United States Mission to Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Tuesday the Iran-backed Houthi militias’ latest attack on Abha and its civilian airport.

“This egregious attack threatened lives, infrastructure, and prospects for peace and stability in Yemen,” it said in a statement.

“We call on the Houthis to stop the violence and engage constructively with UN and US Special Envoys to end the conflict in Yemen,” it urged.

“The United States remains committed to its longstanding strategic partnership with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and to helping Saudi Arabia defend its people and territory,” it stressed.
