The European Union strongly condemned the Houthis’ attacks on Saudi Arabia, including an attempt to target Mecca with a drone, on Thursday, 26 Shahrivar, and said these attacks undermine the prospect of reaching a non-military solution to the conflict in Yemen and further endanger regional security.

The European Union urged the Houthis to stop all military actions and emphasized that it remains committed to supporting the people and the government of Yemen and to working with the United Nations, regional partners, and the international community to reduce tensions and achieve a comprehensive, inclusive, and lasting peace.
