At least 26 people wounde­d after Yemeni rebels fired cruise missil­e at Abha airpor­tDUBAI / KARACHI: Pakistan strongly condemned a missile attack by Houthi rebels on a civilian airport in southern Saudi Arabia that wounded at least 26 people on Wednesday. “Pakistan reiterates its full support and solidarity with the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against any threats to its security and territorial integrity,” said a Foreign Office statement. Saudi Arabia accused Iran of ordering the attack, a charge that Tehran and the Houthi movement deny. The conflict is widely seen in the region as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
