SANAA: United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemns two reported attacks, the Saudi Arabia airstrikes in Yemen and the Houthi Yemeni rebels drone and missile hits in Saudi Arabia, a UN spokesman said on Monday (Tuesday in Manila).

“It is really quite simple,” said Stephane Dujarric, the chief spokesman for Guterres. “Such actions are detrimental to the mediation efforts being carried out by our special envoy, Martin Griffiths, who will continue to work with all parties to advance the political process to reach a negotiated settlement to end the conflict.”
