Bangladesh has expressed deep concern at the reported ballistic missile attack by the Houthi rebels targeting the King Khaled International Airport in Riyadh which was successfully intercepted by the Saudi air-defence forces.

"Bangladesh condemns such attack which is a threat to the safety and security of the brotherly people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," UNB reports on Tuesday citing a Foreign Ministry statement.

Bangladesh reiterated its commitment to stand by the government and the people of the Kingdom which is the land of the two holy mosques.
