G7 calls on Houthis to "immediately" stop attacks on shipping
On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, G7 foreign ministers urged the Houthis to end their military actions, while Saudi-led coalition strikes on the port of Mokha reportedly killed six people.
G7 foreign ministers on Monday night urged the Houthis in Yemen to "immediately cease all military actions, threats and attacks" against shipping. The call was made on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Strikes reported on the port of Mokha
Meanwhile, the Saba news agency, which is affiliated with the Houthi fighters, reported on Tuesday that strikes attributed to the Saudi-led coalition on the southwestern Yemeni port city of Mokha were carried out. The strikes killed six people, according to the source.
These developments come as the situation in the Red Sea remains under scrutiny, with the Houthis stepping up actions targeting maritime traffic in the region in recent months.
The G7 call illustrates the continuing concerns of major Western powers about the risks these tensions pose to the security of international maritime trade, as world leaders gather in New York for the annual session of the UN General Assembly.
No independent toll of the strikes on Mokha could be immediately confirmed.
