Security Council meets over Yemen crisis
The United Nations Security Council held an emergency session to discuss developments in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait in Yemen. The Deputy Head of the Political Affairs and Peace Operations Department emphasized that the escalation in the region increases the threat to the security of the Red Sea and the international waterway. He called for dialogue and a reduction of tensions. He also reported that the Houthis continue their advance toward the strait and have taken control of several islands in the southern Red Sea. However, commercial shipping has not been affected at present. He stressed the importance of constructive engagement with the United Nations efforts to reach a political settlement and urged the Yemeni parties to engage in dialogue and de-escalate the situation.
