RIYADH: The US Embassy in Riyadh on Saturday strongly condemned an attack by the Houthi militia in Yemen on Jazan, southern Saudi Arabia, which killed two people and injured seven.
The embassy tweeted that such Houthi attacks not only extend the conflict but also “prolong the suffering of Yemen people, expose the lives of Saudi people to danger, as well as more than 70 thousand American expats living in Saudi Arabia.”
“We once again renew our calls for the Houthi group to halt their reckless attacks against the people of Saudi Arabia and engage in diplomatic efforts sponsored by the United Nations.”
The statement offered condolences to the families of the victims, and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
