UN Security Council condemns 'escalatory' Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia

The UN Security Council has issued a statement condemning recent escalations in attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels on Saudi Arabia, specifically targeting Riyadh's international airport multiple times this month. One strike last weekend resulted in 13 deaths and over 300 injuries. The council expressed concern over ongoing Houthi attacks and threats against commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait. It affirmed Saudi Arabia's right to self-defense under international law.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the UN Security Council's official stance on the situation, using neutral language and citing the council's formal statement. There is no evident bias toward either side, as it reports on the condemnation of Houthi actions without taking a position on the conflict itself.
