Global Chaos Erupts as World Leaders Scramble to Prevent All-Out War

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed concern over a potential further escalation in Yemen. He called for “utmost restraint and the cessation of all military activities”, according to a spokesperson for Guterres.

“The further escalation could sharpen regional tensions and fuel the cycle of retaliation, which could further destabilize Yemen and the region” the spokesperson added, warning that it could “seriously imperil the already catastrophic humanitarian situation in the country”.

The United States had, for the first time since the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, targeted Houthi militia positions in Yemen over the weekend. The attacks followed strikes on merchant vessels in the Red Sea.
