The air raid was a response to Yemen's army attacks on Israeli-linked civilian vessels and long-range missile and drone strikes on Israel, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
The attack on Al Hudaydah killed at least three people and injured about 87 more, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported early Sunday, citing the Ministry of Health which operates in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.
Guterres “is deeply concerned about the reports of airstrikes earlier today in and around the port of Al Hudaydah in Yemen,” according to a statement from his spokesperson published on the UN website.
“Initial reports indicate several fatalities and over 80 people injured in this attack, and that there has been considerable damage to civilian infrastructure. The Secretary-General calls on all concerned to avoid attacks that could harm civilians and damage civilian infrastructure,” the statement says.
Guterres “remains deeply concerned about the risk of further escalation in the region and continues to urge all to exercise utmost restraint,” the note adds.
