The United Nations Security Council has condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and commercial shipping, calling the actions a threat to regional security. The statement, issued on Friday, also criticized unauthorized aircraft landings at Sana’a and Hodeidah airports, warning that such actions risk undermining peace efforts in Yemen (arabnews.pk).

The attacks, which targeted Saudi territory and commercial vessels, have intensified tensions in the region. The Security Council’s resolution highlights the ongoing conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran. The UN has repeatedly called for a ceasefire and a political solution to the war in Yemen, which has already claimed thousands of lives.

In response to the attacks, Saudi Arabia has reaffirmed its stance against the Houthi group, which it accuses of violating international law. Meanwhile, regional allies, including Qatar, have expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia, emphasizing the need for stability in the Gulf. The situation remains volatile, with the potential for further escalation.
