UN Envoy Warns of Escalation in Yemen as Houthis Attack Mokha

The UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, has expressed deep concern over recent Houthi attacks on the city of Mokha. These attacks have resulted in civilian and military casualties, damaged infrastructure, and put civilians at grave risk in Mokha, Marib, and beyond. Grundberg warns that these attacks sharply increase the risk of a return to full-scale conflict in Yemen and calls on all parties to exercise maximum restraint and take steps to de-escalate. He emphasizes that the conflict can only be resolved through an inclusive political process.
