Security Council reviews Bab el-Mandeb situation
The United Nations Security Council discussed, at France's request, the situation in the Bab al-Mandab Strait amid escalating attacks by the Houthis in Yemen. These attacks have enabled the group to take control of strategic positions near the vital waterway. The Houthis have seized the island of Mīyon and areas along Yemen's coast on the Red Sea, posing a threat to the security of the crucial maritime passage. Yemen and Saudi Arabia are expected to deliver statements during the meeting, which is scheduled for 19:00 GMT, to discuss the impact of the escalation on regional security.
