The attack was carried out by the terrorist Houthi militia, and resulted in casualties among civilians, travelers and airport employees.

Meanwhile, the Arab Republic of Egypt has strongly condemned the Houthi militia's continuation of its cowardly terrorist attacks on the territories of Saudi Arabia, the latest of which was the targeting of King Abdullah Airport with two bomb-laden drones, which resulted in the injury of a number of civilians and residents in the Kingdom, as well as some material losses.

In Doha, Qatar expressed its strong condemnation and denunciation of the attempt to target King Abdullah Airport in Jazan.

The Jordanian government too denounced the periodic attacks carried by Houthi terrorist militia against the territories of Saudi Arabia, latest of which was the hostile offense against Jazan-based King Abdulla airport, injuring a number of innocents and causing material damage.
In a statement in Amman, Haitham Abulfool, spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs of Jordan, expressed, in the strongest words, his country's condemnation and denunciation of those repeated terrorist practices, targeting innocent civilians as well as the security and stability of Saudi Arabia.
