法国于周日（10月11日）谴责也门伊朗支持的胡塞武装前一天对利雅得国际机场的'可怕袭击'，并强调对沙特阿拉伯的'完全团结'。法国目前已向沙特阿拉伯派遣军队和军事装备，并表示'将继续站在沙特阿拉伯一边，支持其捍卫领土和基础设施'，外交部声明呼吁胡塞武装停止袭击。
France on Sunday, October 11, condemned the "heinous attack" by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis a day earlier on Riyadh's international airport and stressed "total solidarity" with Saudi Arabia. France, which is already lending troops and military equipment to Saudi Arabia, "will continue to remain by its side in its defense of its territory and its infrastructure," a foreign ministry statement said, calling on the Houthis to cease their attacks.
此次对利雅得机场的袭击发生在周六，造成12人死亡，数百人受伤。法国外交部表示，受伤者中包括一名法国女性。
The attack on Saturday on the Riyadh airport killed 12 people and wounded hundreds. The French foreign ministry said a French woman was among those hurt.
法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙于9月24日宣布，法国将向沙特阿拉伯派遣军队、雷达单元和防御系统，以应对胡塞武装反复发动的导弹和无人机袭击。法国外交部长让-诺埃尔·巴罗在马克龙宣布数日后表示，该援助是'严格防御性的'，并不意味着巴黎正在成为沙特阿拉伯对抗胡塞武装战争的伙伴。
French President Emmanuel Macron on September 24 announced that his country was sending French troops, radar units and defense systems to Saudi Arabia, as it confronts repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, days after Macron's announcement, termed the assistance "strictly defensive" and said it did not mean that Paris was becoming a partner in the Saudi war against the Houthis.
