Authorities in Baghdad strongly condemned on Sunday the hostile act targeting King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, demanding an end to the ongoing military tension in the region. A statement by the spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of
the Armed Forces, Sabah Al-Numan, stated that Baghdad categorically rejects any attack targeting civilian facilities and innocent people, stressing that such actions contribute to destabilizing regional security and deepening existing disputes. The statement emphasized the importance of an immediate halt
to all military operations and sparing civilians and peoples from their dangerous repercussions, while protecting vital facilities from attacks. It also reiterated the position calling for dialogue and understanding as an alternative to violence, affirming the importance of ensuring freedom
of navigation and air traffic, as well as prioritizing the shared economic and developmental interests of the region.
