China has expressed grave concern over continued tensions across the Middle East, issuing an urgent plea for dialogue.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the comments at a regular press briefing on Wednesday when asked about reports that Yemen's Houthi forces had targeted Saudi Arabia's defense ministry and an airport.

China opposes attacks on civilian facilities, including civil aviation airports, Guo said.

China calls on all sides to resolve disputes through negotiation to restore peace and stability in the region at an early date, he added.
