Pakistan reaffirms 'commitment' to Saudi Arabia's sovereignty after airport attack

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said his country reaffirms “commitment to Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and security", while condemning the attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh as “heinous". “Attacks targeting civilians and critical infrastructure are completely unacceptable and constitute a serious threat to regional peace and stability,” he said. Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey had signed the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement in August, days after Yemen’s Houthis fired a barrage of missiles at the kingdom. At least 12 people were killed and more than 300 injured in Saturday's attack on the airport, the deadliest attack on the kingdom in a decade.
