UN Security Council Condemns Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia

Council members said 73 UN personnel remain detained and warned that further escalation would worsen Yemen’s humanitarian crisis.

  • On Thursday, the Security Council demanded the release of 73 detained UN personnel and reaffirmed Saudi Arabia's right to self-defense against Houthi attacks.
  • Fighting has intensified, displacing at least 125,000 people since the start of the month, according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
  • The Council demanded that the Houthis "immediately cease their military escalation" and reminded all members of their obligations under the targeted arms embargo.
  • Members expressed support for Special Envoy Hans Grundberg in pursuing a Yemeni-led political settlement, as China presses Iran to help rein in the Houthis.
  • The Security Council reiterated condemnation of threats against shipping in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb, noting renewed fighting ended the UN-brokered truce.
