Saudi Arabia has been leading a coalition of Arab states for four years backing Yemen’s government in its war against Houthi rebels.

The conflict had started in 2015 when the Houthi rebels took control of much of the west of Yemen and forced President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi to flee from the country.

Condemnation poured in following the attack at Abha International Airport.

UAE condemned the terrorist activity saying the act was a ‘proof of Houthi militia’s attempt to undermine regional security’.

Bahrain in its statement said the attack was the ‘cowardly criminal act against innocent civilians.’
