SEOUL, Sept. 14 (Yonhap) -- The foreign ministry on Monday condemned recent attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels targeting civilian and economic facilities in Saudi Arabia and called for an immediate halt to such assaults.

The Iranian-backed Houthis have stepped up attacks on Saudi Arabia since last week, targeting cities and energy facilities with missiles and drones. The attacks have wounded dozens of people and caused fires and disruptions at some energy facilities, according to foreign media reports.

"We condemn the Houthi rebels' attacks targeting civilians and economic facilities in southern Saudi Arabia, which resulted in a number of civilian casualties," the ministry said in a statement.

Attacks on civilians and civilian facilities, as well as acts that undermine the freedom and safety of navigation, cannot be justified under any circumstances, the ministry said, urging the Houthis to immediately halt such assaults.

The ministry also emphasized that peace and stability in the Middle East, including ensuring free and safe navigation in the Red Sea, are crucial to the international community from the perspectives of global supply chains and energy security.

"We express our deep solidarity with Saudi Arabia over the attacks and urge the Houthis to refrain from actions that could further escalate tensions," it added.

首尔，9月14日（韩联社）——外交部周一谴责也门胡塞武装近期针对沙特阿拉伯平民和经济设施的袭击，并呼吁立即停止此类袭击。

自上周以来，伊朗支持的胡塞武装加大了对沙特阿拉伯的袭击力度，使用导弹和无人机袭击城市和能源设施。据外媒报道，袭击已造成数十人受伤，并引发火灾，一些能源设施也因此中断运行。

“我们谴责胡塞武装分子袭击沙特阿拉伯南部平民和经济设施，造成多名平民伤亡，”该部在一份声明中表示。

该部表示，袭击平民和民用设施以及破坏航行自由和安全的行为在任何情况下都不能被正当化，并敦促胡塞武装立即停止此类袭击。

该部还强调，从全球供应链和能源安全的角度来看，中东的和平与稳定，包括确保红海的自由安全航行，对国际社会至关重要。

声明还表示：“我们对沙特阿拉伯在袭击事件中表示深切声援，并敦促胡塞武装避免采取可能进一步加剧紧张局势的行动。”
