North Korea condemned U.S. military actions against Yemen’s Houthi rebels, claiming they violate international law and sovereignty. The ambassador urged the international community to protest against these actions, calling them a form of “hooliganism” and emphasized the need to restore peace in the region.
On Tuesday, North Korea condemned the United States’ military operations against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, labeling it a “wanton” breach of international law. The remarks were made by Ma Tong-hui, North Korea’s ambassador to Egypt and Yemen, via the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). This comes in light of reported U.S. military actions in Yemen that reportedly resulted in substantial casualties, including women and children.
North Korea highlighted that the U.S. attack constitutes a serious infringement of international legal standards, including the U.N. Charter, and is an unjustified attack on the sovereignty of other nations. The ambassador criticized the U.S. for pursuing what he described as its “exclusive and unilateral geopolitical ambition,” alleging violations of other countries’ sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Furthermore, Ma called on the global community to denounce U.S. actions, which he referred to as “hooliganism” that undermines regional peace and stability. He urged Washington to cease its indiscriminate military operations immediately, in order to restore order in the region. Notably, Iran, which holds a cordial relationship with North Korea, remains a significant player in this ongoing conflict.
North Korea has officially denounced U.S. military interventions in Yemen, asserting that they violate international law and undermine the sovereignty of nations. It calls for international condemnation of these actions and urges the United States to halt its military operations. The remarks underscore the geopolitical tensions surrounding the conflict and highlight existing relationships, such as that between North Korea and Iran.
