Amman, Sept. 8 (Petra) - Arab nations denounced on Tuesday the Houthi attacks targeting civilian and economic infrastructure across Saudi Arabia and commercial shipping in the Red Sea.

In separate statements, regional leaders described the strikes as a "dangerous escalation threatening regional stability, global trade, and energy security," urging the UN Security Council and international community to take action to deter further attacks and hold perpetrators accountable.

Qatar’s Foreign Ministry called the strikes an "aggressive violation" of international law and Saudi sovereignty. Bahrain's Foreign Ministry similarly warned that threats to maritime navigation near the Bab al-Mandab Strait violate the UN Charter and international humanitarian law.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned attacks targeting several Saudi cities, including Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jizan, and Najran, which resulted in civilian injuries, including women and children.

The Muslim World League also condemned the attacks, describing the actions as violations of human values, international law, and humanitarian norms.
