UN Security Council condemns Houthi attacks and demands an end to escalation
The UN Security Council has issued an official statement strongly condemning the attacks launched by Houthi militias on the territory of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In its statement, the Council emphasized the necessity for all parties to adhere to international law and to maintain the security and stability of the region.
In its resolution, the Security Council demanded an immediate and comprehensive halt to the military escalation carried out by the militias. The members stressed the importance of de-escalating tensions to ensure the protection of civilians and vital infrastructure within the Kingdom, affirming that these attacks directly threaten regional security.
The statement also focused on the importance of protecting maritime navigation in the Red Sea, as this region serves as a vital corridor for global trade. The Council noted that threatening commercial vessels hinders the movement of the international economy and creates significant risks to maritime security.
These international condemnations come within the framework of the international community's efforts to support stability in the region. The United Nations calls on all concerned parties to return to dialogue and commit to peaceful solutions to end the crisis and ensure the security of the Kingdom and the safety of waterways.
