"I strongly condemn the new wave of arbitrary detentions of UN personnel today in Sanaa and Hodeida... as well as the forced entry into UN premises and seizure of UN property. At least 11 UN personnel were detained," Grundberg said in a statement, demanding that they be "immediately and unconditionally" released.

The UN's World Food Programme earlier said one of its staff members had been detained at the agency's Sanaa offices.
