Houthis Accuse Saudi Arabia of New Deadly Strikes in Yemen as G7 Calls for End to Attacks
The G7 expressed solidarity with Yemen's internationally recognized government and urged pro-Iranian fighters to halt attacks on Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
Yemen's Houthi movement has accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out new deadly strikes in Yemen, according to reports, amid continued tension along the Saudi-Yemeni border region.
The Group of Seven (G7) nations expressed their "full solidarity" with Yemen's internationally recognized government and its Saudi ally on Tuesday, calling on pro-Iranian fighters to cease attacks against Yemen and against neighboring Saudi Arabia.
The Houthi movement, which controls large parts of northern Yemen including the capital Sanaa, has been engaged in a prolonged conflict with the Saudi-backed, internationally recognized Yemeni government for over a decade.
The G7 statement reflects continued international concern over the stability of the region, as sporadic cross-border attacks between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia have persisted despite periods of relative calm in recent years.
Details of the strikes alleged by the Houthis, including casualty figures or specific locations, were not independently confirmed in available reporting.
