The UN Security Council has issued a joint statement condemning the “escalatory” attacks by Houthi rebels on Saudi Arabia, including “reckless strikes” on Riyadh’s airport, AFP reports.
In a joint statement shared by the Security Council’s president, Greece’s Evangelos Sekeris, the 15-member UN body “condemned in the strongest terms continued and escalatory Houthi attacks against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” as well as “continued Houthi attacks and threats against commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb (Strait).”
The statement also “affirmed the inherent right of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia of self-defence in accordance with international law.”
