Yemen's Foreign Ministry Urges International Action Over Alleged Saudi 'Crimes'

Yemen's Foreign Ministry has called on the international community to "fulfill its responsibilities" in response to what it described as "criminal" actions carried out by Saudi Arabia in Yemen, according to a report by al-Masirah television.

The statement was carried by Iran's state news agency IRNA on Saturday, citing the al-Masirah broadcast. Al-Masirah is a satellite television channel affiliated with Yemen's Houthi movement, which controls the ministry that issued the call.

Details of the specific actions referenced by the ministry, including timing, location or nature of the alleged conduct, were not included in the report cited by IRNA.

Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition involved in the Yemen conflict since 2015, supporting the internationally recognized government against Houthi forces. The Houthi movement, which controls significant territory including the capital Sanaa, has repeatedly accused Saudi-led forces of committing violations during the conflict, allegations that Riyadh has denied in the past.

IRNA did not report any immediate response from Saudi Arabia to the Yemeni ministry's statement. The report also did not specify what form of international action the ministry was seeking.

This report is based solely on information provided by IRNA, which in turn attributed its account to al-Masirah television. Independent verification of the claims was not available at the time of publication.
