The United Nations Security Council emergency meeting focuses on the situation in the Mandeb Strait

On September 15, the United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting regarding the situation in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. United Nations Assistant Secretary-General Khaled Heyaari reported that the situation in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait and surrounding areas is increasingly turbulent, with escalating conflict on Yemen's western coast.

The escalation of the situation could have serious implications for international peace and security, the global energy market, food security, and the economies of multiple countries. The United Nations calls on all parties to exercise restraint and to promote a political solution to the Yemen issue through dialogue.
