Safadi said Jordan supports measures taken by Saudi Arabia to protect its security, stability, sovereignty and citizens. He also condemned Houthi attacks on civilian and economic facilities and attempts to target the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
He reaffirmed Amman’s support for Yemen’s internationally recognized government and efforts to restore security and stability while preserving Yemen’s unity and sovereignty.

Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation said the airports were attacked Monday evening, leaving three people with minor injuries and causing material damage.
