New Delhi expressed serious concern on Thursday over the strikes on Saudi airports, emphasizing that civilian facilities should not be targets in any conflict. The attacks, claimed by Yemen's Houthi group, struck two airport facilities in the kingdom, leaving three people dead and more than 30 wounded.
India's statement reflects broader regional concerns over the escalating violence and its humanitarian toll. The Indian government's position aligns with international norms that protect civilian infrastructure and non-combatants during armed conflicts.
The attacks mark a continued pattern of militant strikes in the region. The Houthi movement, which controls significant portions of Yemen, has previously claimed responsibility for drone and missile attacks on targets in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
India, which maintains significant economic and strategic ties with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations, has consistently called for restraint by all parties involved in regional conflicts. The country has urged dialogue and peaceful resolution of disputes affecting stability in the strategically important region.
