RIYADH: Saudi Arabia said early Friday that it was following with “great concern” the military operations taking place in the Red Sea region and the airstrikes on several sites in Yemen.
“While the Kingdom stresses the importance of preserving the security and stability of the Red Sea region, in which freedom of navigation is an international demand [and of] interest of the entire world, [Saudi Arabia] calls for restraint and avoiding escalation in light of the events the region is witnessing,” a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency read.
The statement came shortly after the US and the UK announced that they had struck over a dozen targets used by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. The Houthis have carried out 27 attacks on international shipping since Nov. 19 across the Red Sea, according to the US military.
Washington and a number of countries previously had warned the group to halt its attacks or face consequences.
