Attacks on infrastructure in Saudi Arabia: Kazakhstan’s Foreign Ministry addresses Kazakh citizens

Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has urged its citizens currently in Saudi Arabia to take precautions, avoid crowded places and airports unless strictly necessary. Kazakh citizens are also advised to postpone non-urgent travel if possible. In case of emergencies, diplomats ask citizens to contact the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Riyadh or the Consulate General in Jeddah immediately. The recommendations come amid attacks on civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. Earlier, Kazakhstan’s Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the attacks by Houthi militants that resulted in human casualties. The Ministry stressed that such actions violate the norms of international law and hinder a settlement of the conflict in Yemen. Kazakhstan called for the crisis to be resolved through diplomatic means, expressing solidarity with the Kingdom and support for its right to protect its sovereignty and security.
