Brussels: The European Union has issued a strong condemnation of the recent Houthi attacks targeting Saudi Arabia and government-controlled areas in Yemen, including strikes in the Najran region and Marib city. These attacks on civilian infrastructure have resulted in casualties, prompting the EU to express full solidarity with both Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni government. The EU also extended condolences to the families of the victims, emphasizing the unacceptability of targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, and calling for an immediate cessation of such actions.

According to European Union, the attacks represent a dangerous escalation that threatens regional stability and risks undermining ongoing efforts for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The EU has urged the Houthis to stop all attacks both inside and outside of Yemen. It reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the Yemeni people and collaborating with the United Nations, regional partners, and the international community to foster de-escalation, regional stability, and a comprehensive, inclusive, and sustainable peace.
