Guterres voices alarm over escalating fighting in Yemen, condemns Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia
UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed deep concern on Monday over a sharp escalation of fighting in Yemen. He also condemned cross-border attacks launched by the Houthis on Saudi Arabia, according to media reports.
Why it matters
The UN stance comes as escalation touches Saudi Arabia's security and its southern border, raising fears that the confrontation could widen across the region. Continued fighting also complicates Yemen's humanitarian situation and efforts toward a political settlement.
Background
Yemen has been gripped by a long armed conflict between the Houthi movement and the internationally recognized government, and Saudi Arabia is involved in it. The United Nations follows the Yemeni file through its secretary-general and its special envoy.
