Escalating Violence in Yemen: Houthis Raid UN Offices Following Political Turmoil

In a significant escalation of tensions in Yemen, the Iran-backed Houthi militia has stormed United Nations offices in the capital, Sanaa, subsequent to the assassination of the Prime Minister and other ministers by Israel. During these raids, at least one employee from various UN agencies, including the World Food Programme (WFP) and UNICEF, has been detained. Reports indicate that the Houthis have seized control of multiple aid agency facilities, leading to concerns about the safety of humanitarian workers and the continuity of vital aid in the region.
