Bangladesh has issued a strong condemnation of recent attacks carried out by the Houthi movement in Saudi Arabia, including an assault on Dammam airport that resulted in casualties and injuries involving two Bangladeshi nationals. The statement was released on Friday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, conveying the country’s condolences to the families affected by the attacks and expressing solidarity with the Saudi government and people.

The Ministry called for an immediate halt to all hostilities and urged all parties to pursue a peaceful resolution through diplomatic means. The statement did not provide further details on the extent of the injuries to the Bangladeshi citizens or the overall impact of the attacks.

The Houthi insurgency, which has been engaged in a prolonged conflict with a Saudi-led coalition since 2015, frequently targets locations within Saudi Arabia, including airports and infrastructure, as part of its campaign. This latest attack highlights the ongoing volatility in the region and the risks posed to foreign nationals working or living there.

Bangladesh’s condemnation underscores its position in support of Saudi Arabia amid the conflict and reflects its concern for the safety of its citizens abroad. The government’s appeal for restraint and dialogue aligns with broader international calls for de-escalation in the Yemeni conflict and efforts to find a political solution.
