Saudi Envoy Challenges UN Council to Enforce Arms Embargo
Saudi Arabia is demanding the UN Security Council take decisive action against Houthi attacks that injured 73 civilians, arguing the escalation jeopardizes both regional stability and critical maritime trade routes. Riyadh maintains its right to self-defense while continuing to push for a comprehensive, Yemeni-led political resolution.
