Bangladesh on Friday strongly condemned the Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia, including the strike on Dammam airport that left two Bangladeshi nationals injured.

Bangladesh expressed heartfelt sympathy for the affected families and solidarity with the Saudi government and people, according to a press release issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It also called for an immediate cessation of all attacks and urged a peaceful resolution of the conflict through diplomacy.

Two Bangladeshi nationals were injured in the attack on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam on October 21, according to the Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment.

The injured were identified as Sajal Chandra Das, from Muradnagar upazila in Cumilla, and Mohammad Abdur Rahim, from Noakhali Sadar upazila.

Both are receiving treatment at Saudi German Hospital in Dammam, the ministry said in a press release on Thursday.

A representative of the Bangladesh Embassy visited them at the hospital and enquired about their treatment and condition. The two reportedly lost consciousness due to heat and smoke during the attack but sustained no physical injuries.

They are now in stable condition and were able to speak with the embassy representative, according to the press release.

The attack killed two people and injured eight others. It was the latest in a series of assaults on Saudi infrastructure as fighting intensifies between the Houthis and Yemen’s Saudi-backed, internationally recognised government.
