Singapore condemns Houthi attacks on Saudi aviation infrastructure

Singapore has issued a strong rebuke of the Houthi militant group following recent attacks targeting civilian aviation infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. A Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson stated that assaults on such facilities are "unacceptable and cannot be justified" under any circumstances.

The strikes on the Saudi airport claimed three lives and damaged critical civilian infrastructure serving commercial aviation operations. The attacks represent an escalation in cross-border hostilities affecting civilian populations and essential services in the Arabian Peninsula.

Singapore's stance reflects broader regional concerns about the destabilisation caused by attacks on civilian targets and vital transport infrastructure. The city-state has consistently advocated for respect for international humanitarian law and the protection of non-military facilities serving civilian populations.

The condemnation underscores Singapore's commitment to upholding maritime security and freedom of navigation principles that underpin regional stability and commerce throughout South and Southeast Asia.
