United Nations chief Antonio Guterres said the Houthis must immediately stop all attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called such attacks unacceptable and said they endanger global supply chains and have a negative impact on the economic and humanitarian situation around the world.
He added that countries protecting their ships from Houthi attacks should do so in accordance with international law and not escalate the situation.
His statement comes after the armies of the United States and the United Kingdom, backed by several other countries, launched strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen on Thursday.
The Biden administration and its allies had warned that the Iran-backed militant group would bear the consequences of its attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea. US and UK officials have defended the attacks, citing self-defense./CNN
