Jeddah (UNA-OIC) – The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) roundly condemned the Houthi militia’s systematic targeting of civilians and civil property in the southwestern Saudi city of Khamis Mushait, with a booby-trapped drone and two ballistic missiles that were intercepted and downed by the Arab Coalition Supporting Yemen’s Legitimacy.
In a statement on Thursday, OIC Secretary General Dr. Yousef Al-Othaimeen reiterated the Organization’s committed support to the efforts of the Joint Forces Command to confront Houthi militia’s ongoing hostilities and terrorist operations, in due respect for the principles and customary rules of international humanitarian law.
The OIC chief also warned that the failed attempts to target civilians and civil property by the Houthi militias and those backing them with money and weapons are a threat to regional and international security, and impede any comprehensive solution to the crisis in Yemen.
