India condemned recent attacks on Abha International Airport and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which resulted in three civilian deaths and multiple injuries. The Ministry of External Affairs called targeting civilian infrastructure "completely unacceptable," expressed condolences to the victims' families, and wished a speedy recovery to the injured. India affirmed its solidarity with the people and government of Saudi Arabia amid escalating hostilities involving the Iran-backed Houthi group, which claimed responsibility for the attacks.
