UN ‘deeply concerned’ over Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia

NEW YORK: The UN on Thursday said it was “deeply concerned” over an increase in attacks on Saudi Arabia by the Iran backed Houthi-militia in Yemen.

The comments came as the Arab coalition thwarted the latest attempt by the militia to hit civilian targets in the Kingdom – this time a ballistic missile targeting Jazan.
“We are deeply concerned by the recent reports of increased Houthi cross-border attacks against Saudi Arabia,” spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
