Bombing a country a ?thousand miles from one’s own borders? is not consistent with the right to self-defense, Russia’s envoy to the UN said
Strikes by the United States and its allies on Yemen are a violation of the UN Charter, and they can’t be justified, Moscow’s envoy to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, told a Security Council meeting on Friday.
Moscow convened an urgent United Nations Security Council meeting after the US and UK carried out attacks against alleged Houthi military positions in Yemen in the early hours of Friday without authorization from the UN body.
The US said it was responding to the group targeting shipping routes in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. US Central Command confirmed this morning that the US launched an additional strike on Saturday morning, describing it as targeting a Houthi radar site in Yemen.
The Houthis targeted ships that they claimed were linked to Israel in response to the three-month siege of Gaza.
