The UN Security Council (UNSC) issued a resolution Monday, designating the Houthi militia as a terrorist group and expanded the ban on the delivery of weapons to Yemen to include all Houthi terrorist affiliates. The arms embargo was previously limited to specific individuals and companies. The resolution labeled, for the first time, the Houthi militia as a "terrorist group", condemning their cross-border terrorist attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and demanded immediate measures to stop such attacks. A total of 11 countries voted in favor of the resolution, while Norway, Mexico, Brazil, and Ireland abstained. — SPA
