The UN Security Council on Thursday condemned the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, which killed 14 people and injured over 300 at King Khalid International Airport. The council reaffirmed Saudi Arabia’s right to self-defense. The attacks occurred on October 10 and 11. The strikes targeted the airport in Riyadh. Council members called the attacks “reckless.” The Houthi group is blamed for the attacks. The Security Council issued a presidential statement. The statement emphasized the need for stability in the region.
The attacks have raised concerns about regional security. The Houthi rebels, based in Yemen, have been accused of launching attacks on Saudi territory. The Saudi military has responded with airstrikes. The UN has urged restraint. The conflict between Saudi Arabia and Houthi forces has intensified. The attacks on the airport are part of a broader pattern. The Saudi government has accused the Houthis of supporting terrorism.
The conflict began in 2015 when Saudi Arabia launched a military campaign in Yemen. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have been fighting against Saudi-led forces. The war has caused significant civilian casualties. The UN has called for a ceasefire. The recent attacks have led to renewed calls for diplomatic solutions. The Security Council’s stance supports Saudi Arabia’s military actions. The situation remains volatile. The international community is watching closely.
