Deadly strikes on Saudi airports a ‘grave escalation’: UN envoy

Deadly strikes on civilian airports in Saudi Arabia represent “a grave escalation” by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, a UN special envoy said Saturday.

“These attacks represent a grave escalation,” Hans Grundberg, the UN special envoy for Yemen, said in a statement after a strike on Riyadh’s international airport killed at least 12 people. “Such actions pose a serious threat to regional security, perpetuate cycles of violence and complicate even more peace efforts for Yemen.”
