On Monday Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry said in a statement that the militia had caused corruption in Yemen, as well as killing its civilians.
It also stressed the urgent need for the international community to act against the repeated Houthi attacks.
Saudi Arabia further called on the United Nations Security Council to put an end to the aggressive behavior of the militia.
In Saudi Arabia, two residents sustained minor injuries after the Houthis fired a ballistic missile that fell in the industrial area of Ahad Al-Masarihah, Jazan on Sunday, shortly before the attempted attack on Abu Dhabi.
Bahrain denounced the Houthi attacks targeting civilians.
Similarly, Kuwait condemned the attacks and stressed the need for an international stance against the militia.
Turkey’s foreign ministry said the attacks against both countries were a clear violation of international law.
The Gulf Cooperation Council has further said the continued Houthi attacks reflect the militia’s rejection of all peace efforts in Yemen.
