Yemeni government submits letter to UN, Security Council over Houthi attack on Aden airport

Yemen has delivered a letter to the United Nations and its Security Council, demanding condemnation of the recent Houthi attack on Aden International Airport. The Yemeni government submitted the letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the president of the Security Council, Greece's Ambassador Aglaia Balta, on behalf of the Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Abdullah Al-Saadi.

The letter urges accountability for those responsible and calls for the full and effective enforcement of the arms embargo on the Iran-backed Houthi militia. The Yemeni government stated that resolving these threats requires addressing the root cause, which is the continued control of parts of Yemeni territory by the armed militia.

This militia has capabilities that have been used against civilians, civilian infrastructure, and international navigation, according to Yemen's official news agency, Saba.
