Adding to its denunciation, the Ministry conveyed profound sorrow regarding the death of an Algerian national, which occurred as a result of the missile attack on Abha International Airport.

Algeria underscored its unwavering commitment to safeguarding the safety and security of its citizens, whether at home or abroad. The nation called for an immediate cessation of these hostile attacks and urged all parties to avoid any actions that could potentially escalate tensions or jeopardize the security and stability of the wider region.
