The United Nations on Monday reiterated its condemnation of continued cross-border attacks by Yemen’s Houthi movement against Saudi Arabia, including attempted strikes targeting Riyadh.
“We remain deeply concerned about the ongoing military escalation in and around Yemen, including Houthi offensives in Taiz, Lahij and Marib, with grave consequences for civilians in Yemen and across the region,” UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
UN calls for an end to escalation
Dujarric said the cross-border attacks had targeted civilian areas and critical energy infrastructure across Saudi Arabia. He urged all parties to “exercise restraint and prevent any further escalation.”
Recent Houthi attacks across the border have injured civilians in southern Saudi Arabia, while renewed fighting has disrupted shipping routes and displaced people inside Yemen, according to the UN.
