New York, Feb. 28, 2022, SPA -- The UN Security Council issued a resolution today, 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 after the arms embargo was previously limited to specific individuals and companies. The resolution labled, 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 eleven countries voted in favor of the resolution, while Norway, Mexico, Brazil, and Ireland abstained. --SPA 21:31 LOCAL TIME 18:31 GMT 0033 www.spa.gov.sa/w1698866
