UN condemns Houthi missile attack on Saudi

Riyadh [Saudi Arabia], December 23 (ANI): The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has strongly condemned the missile attack by Iran-backed Al Houthi militants in Yemen against Saudi Arabia.

A statement issued by all the 15 council members of UNSC "also expressed alarm at the stated intention of Al Houthis to continue these attacks against Saudi Arabia, as well as to launch additional attacks against other states in the region", Gulf News reported.

When Saudi Arabia was fighting against the Yemeni militants, it had said that a missile was being intercepted over Riyadh on Tuesday.

On December 19, Al Houthis fired a ballistic missile targeting the Yamama Palace in Riyadh, where the king presides at weekly government meetings and receives foreign leaders.

The UNSC has called for the implementation of an arms embargo on Al Houthis and called on parties in Yemen to start negotiating a political settlement soon.
