Yemen Monitor/New York/Special:
UN Secretary-General António Guterres called on Sunday for “maximum restraint and a halt to all military activities” in Yemen, according to his spokesman Stéphane Dujarric in a statement.
Dujarric said: “Any further escalation could exacerbate regional tensions, fuel cycles of revenge that could further destabilize Yemen and the region, and pose serious risks to the already dire humanitarian situation in the country.”
The US announced on Saturday the start of an unlimited military operation against the Iranian-backed Houthi armed group and launched 47 airstrikes.
