Recent Houthi missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, including the October 10 strike on Riyadh’s King Khalid airport that killed 12 and wounded hundreds, have prompted strong condemnations from France, the UK, and Germany while driving European responses focused on defensive support. The UK has supplied air-to-air refueling and air-defense assistance to Saudi forces for protective operations, and France has deployed troops, radars, and systems to safeguard Saudi energy infrastructure under explicit “strictly defensive” terms. Germany has issued firm statements but faces parliamentary constraints limiting combat involvement. Saudi-led coalition airstrikes and a Yemeni government offensive near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait continue with U.S. backing, yet no confirmed offensive strikes by the three European states against Houthi targets in Yemen have occurred amid ongoing diplomatic pressure for de-escalation and expanded EU naval escorts in the Red Sea.
