Saudi Arabia told the UN Security Council that the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen were to blame for a missile attack on a petroleum products distribution plant in Jeddah on Monday, urging the 15-member body to “stop the threat” to global energy security, Yemen’s political process and regional security.

“It has been identified that the Houthis militia backed by Iran is responsible for the terrorist attack,” Saudi UN Ambassador Abdallah Al-Mouallimi wrote in a letter to the council late on Monday that was seen by Reuters.

He also said Saudi Arabia would “spare no efforts” to protect its territory and citizens.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned on Sunday the targeting of vital facilities and infrastructure in Port Sudan and Kassala in Sudan, describing it as a threat to regional stability as well as to Arab and African national security.
The Kingdom called for an immediate end to the war in Sudan and urged all parties to spare the country and its people further suffering and destruction.

It also reiterated its stance that resolving the crisis requires a Sudanese-led political solution that respects Sudan’s sovereignty and unity, while supporting the country’s state institutions.
The ministry reaffirmed the Kingdom's rejection of these violations, stressing the urgent need to protect civilians and ensure the implementation of the Jeddah Declaration (Commitment to Protect Civilians in Sudan), signed on May 11, 2023.
