The spokesperson of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemns the recent escalation between Israel and Yemen’s Houthi terror group, branding Israel’s airstrikes on Yemen’s Sanaa International Airport, the Red Sea ports and power stations as “alarming.”

Israel says it struck multiple targets linked to the Iran-aligned Houthi movement in Yemen on Thursday, including Sanaa International Airport. Houthi media says at least six people were killed.

“Israeli airstrikes today on Sanaa International Airport, the Red Sea ports and power stations in Yemen are especially alarming,” the UN chief’s spokesperson says in a press briefing while expressing concerns about the risk of further regional escalation.
