GCC Secretary-General Jassim Mohammed Albudaiwi described the assault as an “act of terror that breaches both international and humanitarian law.”
Albudaiwi stressed that Saudi Arabia’s security is closely tied to the security of the other GCC member states, signaling the bloc’s support for Riyadh amid the latest escalation.

He also pledged the GCC’s full backing for Saudi Arabia’s efforts to protect its borders, sovereignty and independence.
The condemnation comes after Houthi forces launched attacks toward Najran, a Saudi region near the country’s southern border.
The GCC did not provide further details on the number or condition of those wounded, while the latest statement underscored the bloc’s continued commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia against attacks targeting its territory.
The incident adds to broader regional tensions involving the Iran-aligned Houthi movement and Gulf states, with any attacks on Saudi territory carrying wider security implications for the GCC.
