Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday called on Yemen’s Houthi militia to “immediately cease these attacks” on Saudi Arabia, as he condemned the “repeated terrorist attacks” against the kingdom, including the targeting of airports in Riyadh and Abha.
In a post on X, PM Shehbaz said the attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Abha International Airport had resulted in “loss of lives and injuries to civilians”.
“I strongly condemn the repeated terrorist attacks by the Houthi militia against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” he said.
The prime minister commended the “vigilance and professionalism” of the Saudi armed forces and the coalition for intercepting multiple ballistic missiles, praising their “tireless efforts to protect innocent lives and safeguard the kingdom”.
Reaffirming Pakistan’s support, he said the country stood in “unwavering solidarity with the leadership and people of our brotherly kingdom of Saudi Arabia”.
Referring to the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement and recent decisions taken by the Strategic Political and Defence Committee, PM Shehbaz said Pakistan’s commitment to the kingdom’s “sovereignty, territorial integrity and security” was “resolute”.
He also expressed Pakistan’s “full support” for Saudi Arabia’s “legitimate right to defend its people and protect its cities and vital infrastructure”.
“We will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with Saudi Arabia in the face of these threats,” he added. Source: Express Tribune.
