The United Nations has warned against a possible military action against of Hudaydah.

During panel discussion on Yemeni crisis at the Washington-based Middle East Institute, the United Nations Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said he was “extremely concerned” over a potential military operation on the vital Saudi port.

“We as the United Nations are advocating that no military operations should be undertaken in Hudaydah,” Ahmed said.

The warning comes days after the Saudi-led coalition, which has been engaged in a deadly military campaign against Yemen over the past two years, threatened to attack Yemen’s western port city.
