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 called the repeated attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure "completely unacceptable" and urged 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 attacks.
