The Government of Maldives has strongly condemned the hostile attack on King Abdullah Airport in Jazan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

The statement released by the Government of Maldives read that such deplorable acts of terrorism indicate the urgent need for constructive engagement by the parties concerned to find peaceful solutions to the conflicts. It also highlighted that the continuation of such deliberate attacks targeting vital civilian infrastructure undoubtedly violated the international laws, and the resulting civilian casualties clearly exhibit the elevated threat to the stability of the region.

The Government of Maldives also reaffirmed its solidarity with the people and the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and reiterated its steadfast commitment to the fight against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

According to a Saudi Press Agency report, the terrorist Iran-backed militia deployed a bomb-laden drone to attack the King Abdullah Airport in Jazan. Ten people were injured from the drone attack on Friday evening.

The ten injured included travelers and airport staff, with six of them being Saudi nationals, three Bengalis, and one Sudanese.
