India Condemns Missile Attack on Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Airport, Calls for Immediate CessationPreviousNext

India strongly condemned the missile attack on Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on October 10, which killed 12 people and injured over 300. The Ministry of External Affairs described the repeated attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure as "completely unacceptable" and called for an immediate cessation. India expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia in defending its sovereignty and hoped for peace and normalcy to return to the region soon. Saudi Arabia has blamed Iran-backed Houthi militants for the strikes.
