NEW YORK: The UN Security Council has called for an end to cross-border and maritime attacks by Yemen’s Houthis and urged member states to beef up efforts to implement an arms embargo against them.
In a resolution renewing sanctions against the group, the council condemned the attacks and demanded an end to all such actions, “including those against infrastructure and civilian targets.”
The text was adopted in a 13-0 vote, with permanent members China and Russia abstaining.
Targeted sanctions were extended until Nov. 14, 2026, including asset freezes and travel bans currently in place against about 10 people, most of them high-ranking Houthi officials and the group as a whole.
The text was adopted in a 13-0 vote at the UN Security Council, with permanent members China and Russia abstaining.
