UN Security Council Condemns Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia
The council urged the Houthis to stop attacks that have injured civilians and threatened energy infrastructure and shipping across key Red Sea routes, officials said.
- On Saturday, the Saudi-led coalition intercepted two ballistic missiles aimed at Khamis Mushait and two drones targeting Riyadh, according to military spokesperson Maj. Gen. Turki al-Malki, with no immediate casualties reported.
- Since July, Houthi rebels have declared a naval blockade against the kingdom, escalating hostilities. In response, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey signed the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement last month to strengthen collective military deterrence.
- The United Nations Security Council condemned the attacks on Friday in a rare show of unity, demanding the Houthis cease military escalation. The conflict has displaced more than 122,000 people across Yemen, underscoring the humanitarian toll.
- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian denied Tehran directs Houthi operations, stating "the Houthis are responsible for their own actions." Military chiefs from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey met in Riyadh to coordinate security responses.
- Intensifying attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure and shipping pose significant risks to global oil supplies, particularly threatening the Red Sea transit route vital for Gulf exports. This instability underscores broader regional security challenges.
