Brussels: The European Union strongly condemned the latest wave of Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia and government areas in Yemen, including strikes in the Najran region and in Marib city against civilian infrastructure, which have resulted in casualties.

According to Emirates News Agency, a statement by the spokesperson of the European External Action Service expressed full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and the Government of Yemen, extending condolences to the families of the victims. The statement emphasized that the targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure is unacceptable and must cease immediately.

The statement further highlighted that these attacks constitute a dangerous escalation, further undermining regional stability and risking the jeopardization of ongoing efforts towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict. The European Union called on the Houthis to immediately cease all attacks inside and outside Yemen.

The European Union remains committed to supporting the people of Yemen and to working with the United Nations, regional partners, and the international community to promote de-escalation, regional stability, and a comprehensive, inclusive, and sustainable peace.
