EU chief Ursula von der Leyen called the deadly Houthi attack on Riyadh airport a “dangerous escalation” and said the group must halt strikes on civilian targets.
“These attacks by Iran’s proxies are pushing the region into a spiral of violence. They are destabilising crucial global transport and energy nodes with shockwave sent through the world. These murderous attacks at civilians must stop at once,” von der Leyen said, adding the EU stands in “solidarity with Saudi Arabia”.
