UN envoy warns the involvement of Houthis in regional war

Grundberg said that such developments would make it harder to resolve the Yemeni crisis, worsen economic conditions, and extend civilian suffering.

Call for restraint and de-escalation

He emphasised that no party has the right to drag the country into a wider conflict, urging all sides to exercise maximum restraint and halt further military escalation.

Focus on diplomacy and mediation

The UN envoy reaffirmed his commitment to ongoing engagement with Yemeni, regional, and international stakeholders, urging a renewed focus on diplomatic channels and mediation to prevent further spillover of the conflict.

He emphasised the importance of de-escalation efforts, particularly from the Houthi Group, to support stability and lessen humanitarian impacts.
