KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has condemned Houthi attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Malaysia continued to view with great concern the escalation of conflict unfolding across the Middle East.

"We remain steadfast in our call for peace and justice for the Palestinian people, in our unequivocal condemnation of the genocide in Gaza, and in our opposition to the indiscriminate bombing of southern Lebanon.

"That same conviction obliges us to speak with equal clarity and firmness when civilians are attacked elsewhere.
