UN Chief Guterres Expresses Grave Concern Over Escalating Tensions in Yemen

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres expressed grave concern over the intensifying tensions in Yemen. This statement came during a meeting with Abdullah Al-Alimi, the Vice Chairman of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, where discussions centered on the prevailing political and economic situations, as well as the dire humanitarian crisis gripping the country. The meeting followed an assessment of data published by the Mehr News Agency, citing Al Jazeera.

The situation in Yemen has entered a new phase after years of blockade imposed by the Saudi-American coalition, which subsequently triggered military responses from Yemeni forces. Notably, recent operations have led to the recapture of strategic locations, including the port of Mokha, the strategic district of Kabbow, and control over the vital Bab-el-Mandeb strait by Yemeni forces.
