(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) ADEN, Nov 10 (KUNA) -- Ambassadors of the United States, the United Kingdom and France to Yemen have strongly condemned the Houthi terrorist attack targeting an oil tanker while it was docked at Yemen's Qena port.
'By launching yet another assault on international shipping and the flow of fundamental necessities, the Houthis have once again demonstrated their abject failure to prioritize the Yemeni people,' the ambassadors said in joint statement Thursday.
They warned that attempting to deprive millions of Yemenis from accessing basic goods through economic warfare would only exacerbate the conflict and humanitarian crisis.
'We reiterate our call for the Houthis to immediately cease such attacks, respect their obligations under international law, and cooperate fully with UN-led efforts to establish long-term peace and stability for all Yemenis,' they said.
Earlier, Yemen's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs stated that the Houthi militia had committed another terrorist attack by drones targeting Qena commercial port in Shabwa governorate, in a continuation of its terrorist operations and targeting civilian facilities.
It stressed that the terrorist attack reflects the aggressiveness of these terrorist militias, as they clearly violate all international calls to stop the escalation and stop targeting the infrastructure and economic capabilities of the Yemeni people. (end)
