UN Condemns Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia

The United Nations Security Council has condemned recent attacks on Saudi Arabia by Yemeni Houthi rebels. The attacks have resulted in the injury of civilians, including women and children.

The Security Council called for an immediate halt to the Houthi military escalation and its attacks on civilian objects.

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has denied reports that Tehran is backing the Houthi militant movement. The Houthi gains in recent weeks have cemented Iran's hold on key waterways, which are crucial for Saudi Arabia's oil exports.
