  "summary": "Saudi Arabia has vowed to take \"all necessary measures\" to deter attacks by Houthi rebels, according to its UN representative Abdulaziz al-Wasil. He made the statement at a UN Security Council meeting, where he also called for an end to military escalation in Yemen and threats to international navigation.\n\nThe Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have been launching ballistic missile attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities. According to Qatar Tribune, Pakistan has warned Iran to rein in the Houthi militia, as it has defence pacts with Saudi Arabia. Pakistan has deployed troops to Saudi Arabia under a bilateral agreement to defend the kingdom.\n\nThe Gulf Cooperation Council, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, has strongly condemned the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, warning they pose a direct threat to regional security. The rebels have also seized Yemen's strategic Red Sea port city of Mokha, which is close to the Bab Al Mandeb strait, a key global trade artery.",
