China opposes strikes on civilian airports and other civilian facilities in the Middle East. The official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Gu Qiakun, announced this in a briefing. "China is deeply concerned about the ongoing tension in the region and opposes attacks on civilian airports and other facilities. We call on the relevant parties to resolve the differences through dialogue and negotiations, as well as to contribute to the restoration of peace and stability in the Middle East one day," the diplomat said. On October 25, Yahya Saria, the military spokesman of the Yemeni "Ansar Allah" movement, announced the launch of ballistic missiles at the Riyadh airport, as well as the Khamis Mushait and Jizan military bases. He urged international airlines and passengers to refuse flights through the airport of the capital of Saudi Arabia, considering it unsafe.
