Security Council adopts Resolution 2837 condemning Houthi militia attacks

Asharq News reported that the Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2837 on 12 November, condemning Houthi militia attacks against Saudi Arabia and commercial shipping. The resolution renews targeted asset-freeze and travel-ban measures through 14 November 2027, and the Yemen Panel of Experts’ mandate through 15 December 2027. It also calls for an immediate and unconditional end to the military escalation and attacks, including those targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, and reiterates that Yemen’s conflict requires a political solution. Separately, in a statement on 16 October carried by Saudi Press Agency, the Saudi Foreign Ministry welcomed a Security Council presidential statement condemning attacks against the Kingdom and threats to commercial navigation in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab. It affirmed the Kingdom’s inherent right under international law to defend itself and protect its security, citizens and residents. That was the Ministry’s established position, not a response to Resolution 2837.
