The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia confirmed that it will take all necessary measures to preserve its lands and preserve the safety of its citizens and residents, in accordance with its obligations under international laws.

This came in a message sent by the Kingdom's representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Abdullah bin Yahya Al-Mouallimi, this evening, to the UN Security Council after the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia targeted Abha International Airport.

And in the message: "On instructions from my government, I am writing again regarding the continuation of military hostilities committed by the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in flagrant violation of international law and relevant Security Council resolutions."

If the Abha International Airport was targeted on February 10, 2021, an attack by the Houthi terrorist militia led to a fire in a civilian plane.

Such a terrorist act that targets civilian infrastructure and threatens innocent civilian travelers is a heinous war crime, and the Houthi militia must be held accountable in accordance with international humanitarian law.

The Kingdom takes all necessary measures to preserve its lands and maintain the safety of its citizens and residents, in accordance with its obligations under international laws.

Such terrorist acts carried out by the Houthis continue to undermine the efforts of the United Nations to reach a comprehensive political solution in Yemen, and will destabilize regional security and international peace, calling on the Security Council to strongly condemn these actions and assume its responsibility towards the Iranian-backed Houthi militia to stop its threats to peace and security And holding them accountable, calling on the Council to circulate this letter as an official document of the Security Council.
