The UN Security Council condemned the escalating attacks by the Houthi (Ansar Allah) group on Saudi Arabia, at a time when Yemen has seen an escalation in fighting, with both sides exchanging missile and drone attacks. The Yemeni presidency declared "mobilization" in response to this escalation.
For its part, Saudi Arabia called for "steadfastness and jihad" in the face of the attacks, in statements reflecting the intensity of rising tension between Riyadh and the Houthi group, which controls large parts of Yemen.
Mutual escalation
This escalation comes amid a prolonged conflict between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition, with recent months seeing an exchange of attacks affecting border areas as well as areas inside Saudi territory. This escalation prompted the Security Council to issue an official statement of condemnation.
The full repercussions of Yemen's "mobilization" announcement remain unclear, while observers are watching to see whether the UN condemnation will help calm the situation or whether the military escalation will continue in the coming days.
