UN Security Council condemns Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia
The UN Security Council condemned escalating attacks on Saudi Arabia by Yemeni Houthi fighters, citing a naval blockade, missile strikes and displacement in Yemen, and called for international law, humanitarian access and a ceasefire.
The United Nations Security Council on Friday, September 25, 2026, condemned escalating attacks on Saudi Arabia by Yemeni Houthi fighters, in what the source described as a rare show of unity from the UN's top body.
According to the source, the Houthis have imposed a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, hit its tankers, seized swathes of Yemen's Red Sea coast vital for oil exports and caused energy prices to jump, while also firing missiles at the kingdom. A ground campaign by Houthi forces against Saudi-backed Yemeni forces is also threatening a humanitarian crisis.
The source said 138,000 people have been displaced across Yemen since August, including 70,000 children, the highest level of displacement since a 2022 truce. The Security Council condemned the continued Houthi attacks in the strongest terms and called for respect for international law, humanitarian access and a ceasefire amid regional tensions, according to the source.
