The government of the Republic of Korea takes note of the announcement by the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that the Houthi rebels in Yemen launched a drone attack on Abha International Airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia around 21:10, June 23, local time, leaving a number of people dead or injured. The ROK government strongly condemns the attack that threatens the lives and safety of civilians and that undermines the safety of flights.
