The Quad Group countries (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey) condemned in the strongest terms the ongoing hostile attacks carried out by the Houthi militia against Saudi Arabia, including the heinous attacks that targeted King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, resulting in the death and injury of a number of civilians, as well as causing damage to infrastructure and civilian facilities.
The Group said in a statement that the attack is a flagrant violation of international law, reaffirming that these attacks represent a blatant assault on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Saudi Arabia, a direct threat to its security and stability and the safety of civilians, and a serious escalation that cannot be justified or accepted under any pretext.
The Group affirmed its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its support for all legitimate measures and steps it takes to confront these attacks, deter sources of threat, and prevent their recurrence, in defense of the security and sovereignty of Saudi Arabia and the unity of its territories, and to protect the safety of its citizens and residents, in accordance with the United Nations Charter and international law.
The Group held the Houthi militia fully responsible for these attacks and their consequences, which threaten regional and international peace and security, and called for the immediate and unconditional cessation of these attacks.
The Saudi General Authority for Civil Aviation announced, in the middle of the night from Saturday to Sunday, the death of 12 people and the injury of 309 others due to the attack that targeted King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, on Saturday afternoon.
