UN Special Envoy Warns Yemen Conflict Enters 'New and More Dangerous Phase' Amid Escalating Hostilities

The UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, has warned the Security Council that the conflict in Yemen has entered a 'new and more dangerous phase' amid a major escalation in fighting. Hostilities are spreading across multiple frontlines, driving new displacement and increasing the risk of a return to large-scale conflict. Grundberg emphasized the need to keep channels of engagement open, uphold international humanitarian law, and preserve the pathway to a political settlement.
