New Delhi: India has strongly condemned the reported Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, particularly the targeting of civilian and economic facilities.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said the attacks were unacceptable as they undermined regional security and stability and posed a threat to freedom of navigation in the Bab-el-Mandeb.
