In response to the US and UK launching extensive strikes against Houthi forces in Yemen, Saudi Arabia expresses deep concern over the military operations in the Red Sea region. The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Friday that the Kingdom emphasizes the crucial need for security and stability in the Red Sea, a region globally recognized for its strategic importance in navigation.
Saudi Arabia calls for restraint in the face of ongoing events, urging all parties to avoid escalation and prioritize a peaceful resolution for the stability and security of the area. The statement underscores the international impact of the Red Sea and its relevance to global interests.
The US and British military conducted a retaliatory strike using warship- and submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets, targeting Houthi sites in Yemen. President Joe Biden clarified that the decision followed diplomatic negotiations and careful deliberation, emphasizing that the strikes are a response to unprecedented Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.
