**UNITED NATIONS, March 17, 2025** – UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called for an immediate cessation of all military activities in Yemen following deadly US airstrikes in the country. A statement from UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric warned that further escalation risks exacerbating regional tensions, triggering cycles of retaliation, and worsening the already dire humanitarian crisis. The UN’s plea for restraint comes as the US vowed to continue its strikes against Houthi rebels until they cease hostilities. The situation in Yemen remains highly volatile.
