North Korea condemns US strikes against Yemen

North Korea on Tuesday described recent US strikes on Yemen as an act violating international law and a country’s sovereignty, stating that such a move could never be justified in any way.

Recall that the large-scale US strikes were reportedly launched last week targeting Iran-aligned Houthis over the group’s attacks on Red Sea shipping.

According to the Houthi-run health ministry, the strikes killed no fewer than 53 people including women and children.

The North Korean ambassador, Ma Dong Hui, said Washington indiscriminately targeted civilians and property by mobilising air and navy forces including an aircraft carrier.

The military attack by the United States is a violent violation of the U.N. Charter and international law, and is a blatant infringement on the territorial sovereignty of another country that cannot be justified by any means.

I express grave concern about the illegal and reckless military actions by the United States, which is obsessed with realising geopolitical ambitions … and I strongly condemn and reject them,” Ma said.

Meanwhile, the US Defense Department said the strikes hit more than 30 sites and involved fighter jets launched from a carrier in the Red Sea.
