UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemns what he calls an “escalation” in the conflict between the Houthi movement in Yemen and Israel.

“Israeli airstrikes today against Sanaa’s international airport, ports in the Red Sea and power plants in Yemen are particularly alarming,” said a Guterres spokesperson.

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was at the airport in Saana when it was attacked. Israel states that it attacked targets belonging to the Houthi movement.
