Saudi Arabia slams targeting UN team by Houthis: ambassador
Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the United States
Prince Khalid bin Salman said on Friday that the kingdom strongly condemns the
targeting of United Nations personnel by the pro-Iranian Houthi militias in
Yemen.
In a tweet, Prince Khalid said: “Houthi militias
violated their signed commitments in Stockholm and continue to flout
international law and escalate their aggression against the Yemeni people,” Al
Arabiya channel reported.
On Thursday, the Houthi militias fired at the convoy
of Patrick Cammaert, the UN’s head of ceasefire monitor group in Hodeidah, as
he was on his way back to Hodeidah’s downtown following a meeting with the
legitimate government’s delegation.
Following the attack, the UN spokesperson tweeted
confirming that the UN team was safe.
