Bangladesh has strongly condemned the recent Houthi bomb-laden drone attack targeting Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah Airport that wounded civilians, including few Bangladeshis, working at the airport, reports UNB.

Such attacks are a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, moral values and completely unacceptable, said the foreign ministry on Tuesday.

Bangladesh expressed its grave concerns over the growing number of Houthi militia attacks on Saudi Arabia which undermines the ongoing peace initiatives.
