It has been reported that the Yemeni government has filed a complaint with the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) regarding the threat to the security of civil aviation, which it says is emanating from the Houthis.

In the letter published on the account of the Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was noted that there was a "serious threat" to the security of international air traffic over the south of the Red Sea.

In the letter, it was stated that the Houthis used weapons of Iranian origin from Hodeidah under their control towards international air corridors.

In the ministry's letter, it was stated that the Houthis had recently used air defense weapons of Iranian origin, and that these weapons were modified in Yemeni territory with the participation of Iranian Revolutionary Guard experts and turned into missiles that can stay in the air for up to 25 minutes.

The UNSC was called on to "take urgent international steps against this threat and implement the arms embargo against the Houthis."

It was stated in the letter that the launch of these weapons near international air corridors poses a direct and serious threat to civilian aircraft and their passengers, and that the United Nations and humanitarian aid flights operating in Yemen and the region are also at risk.
