UN Security Council condemns Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, including energy sites

The U.N. Security Council condemned in the strongest terms continued Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, including strikes affecting civilian and energy infrastructure, in a joint statement read by the council's rotating president, French envoy Jérôme Bonnafont.

Why this matters. The Houthis' naval blockade of Saudi Arabia and attacks along Yemen's Red Sea coast threaten the Saudi export route that bypasses Hormuz, adding a second chokepoint to the energy squeeze.
