Singapore Condemns Attacks on Saudi Arabia

Singapore has condemned the recent attacks on Saudi Arabia.

Singapore says that international laws should be respected to ensure the safety of ships and sailors.

Singapore urges all parties to be calm and avoid actions that could increase tensions.

This came after Iran-backed Houthi rebels said they shot down a Saudi drone over Yemen.

The Houthis had attacked Saudi oil facilities a day earlier.

A Greek-operated air defense system in Saudi Arabia shot down two missiles and a drone.

Iran's Foreign Minister said Iran is not to blame and offered to help with talks between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia.

The Houthis said they would block Saudi Arabian ships in response to Saudi attacks on their airports and ports.

This followed an increase in fighting, including Houthi missile attacks on a Saudi airport.

Saudi Arabia has been leading a coalition against the Houthis in Yemen for over a decade.

The war in Yemen, which has killed hundreds of thousands of people, had a ceasefire since 2022.

But the ceasefire ended in July, with the Houthis joining a wider conflict with their Iranian allies.
