Many countries denounced the attack and stated:-

United Nations:

The Secretary-General Antonio Guterres upbraided the airstrikes, because of which three citizens lost their lives, and his spokesman stated that “The international humanitarian law would not accept the attacks against the civilians and civilian infrastructure.”
