The ministry’s statement said the attacks caused casualties and injuries involving two Bangladeshis and expressed heartfelt sympathies to the affected families.
It also reaffirmed Bangladesh’s solidarity with the Saudi government and people, calling for an immediate cessation of all attacks and a peaceful resolution through diplomatic channels.
