United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his concern about the reported missile attack on Aramco's oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, which was adopted by the Houthi militia on Monday.

According to a statement issued by his spokesman, "The Secretary-General expresses his concern about the reported missile attack on Aramco oil installations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for which the Houthis claimed responsibility."

In his statement, the Secretary-General emphasized that the attacks targeting civilian targets and infrastructure "violate international humanitarian law."

Guterres called on all actors to "exercise utmost restraint and demonstrate a serious commitment to participating in the political process facilitated by the United Nations, and to reach a negotiated political settlement to end the conflict and the suffering of the Yemeni people."

The Iranian arm claimed responsibility for the attack on the Jeddah terminal for the distribution of petroleum products with the Quds 2 missile.

The Arab coalition said that it was proven that the Houthi militia was involved in the attack on a fuel station, considering that an extension of terrorist acts that affected oil installations and that evidence proved that they were carried out by the Iranian regime.
