Pakistan calls for the “immediate and unconditional” cessation of Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia at the United Nations, as the Security Council renews Yemen-related sanctions.
Across the reports, the UN Security Council extends targeted asset freezes and travel bans on individuals and entities deemed to threaten Yemen’s peace and stability. The renewed measures also include efforts aimed at restricting Houthis’ access to components and chemicals used to manufacture drones and missiles, and the council renews the mandate of a Panel of Experts monitoring sanctions. The resolution is adopted by consensus and demands that the Houthis stop attacks on Saudi Arabia, halt offensive actions inside Yemen, and end threats to commercial shipping.
The outlets frame the story around Pakistan’s statement supporting Saudi Arabia and calling for an end to attacks, while linking it to UN-led efforts on Yemen. The Express Tribune adds emphasis on Pakistan supporting UN-led Yemen peace efforts, while Dawn details the resolution’s components and the monitoring mandate timelines.
