Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey demand end to Houthi attacks

The R4 group - Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey - has demanded “the immediate and unconditional halt” to Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. In a joint statement, the four countries condemned the continuing missile and drone strikes “in the strongest terms”, describing them as a “blatant violation of international law” and Saudi territorial integrity. They warned that the attacks endanger civilians and threaten the kingdom’s security and stability. The countries pledged solidarity with Saudi Arabia and held the Houthis “fully accountable”.
