India Condemns Houthi Attacks on Saudi Oil Facilities, Cites Regional Security Threat
India condemned recent Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil installations and civilian infrastructure, calling the strikes unacceptable. The External Affairs Ministry highlighted that these attacks undermine regional security, stability, and threaten freedom of navigation through the Bab-el-Mandeb strait. The Iran-backed Houthis, operating from Yemen, targeted multiple Saudi regions, injuring over 70 civilians. India’s statement aligns with Saudi concerns over escalating conflict and disruptions to vital trade routes amid heightened US sanctions on Iran.
