They warned of the increasing fighting along Yemen's western coast and its impact on the Red Sea's security and vital maritime passages. The UN Under-Secretary-General emphasized that the situation has become more volatile, with rising attacks by the Houthis on civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. He called for dialogue and a halt to escalation to preserve freedom of navigation. He also warned that ongoing instability could affect international peace, energy markets, and vulnerable economies, with global costs rising the longer the strait remains closed.
