North Korea has condemned the United States for its military strikes against Yemen’s Houthi rebels, labeling them a violation of international law. The strikes reportedly killed many civilians. North Korean Ambassador Ma Tong-hui criticized the U.S. actions as a breach of sovereignty and called for global protests against such interventions.
On Tuesday, North Korea condemned the United States for its military actions against Yemen’s Houthi rebels, characterizing them as a severe breach of international law. Ma Tong-hui, North Korea’s ambassador to Egypt and Yemen, expressed these views through the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), following reports of significant U.S. military operations targeting the Iran-aligned Houthis.
Health authorities in Yemen reported that the strikes resulted in numerous casualties, including many women and children. Earlier this year, the U.S. government designated the Houthi rebels as a “foreign terrorist organization,” escalating tensions in the region. The ambassador declared, “This military attack by the U.S. is a wanton violation of all international laws including the U.N. Charter and it is an open encroachment upon the sovereignty of other nation that can never be justified.”
Ma Tong-hui voiced “serious concern” about the U.S. actions, accusing the country of pursuing exclusive geopolitical ambitions that infringe upon the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other nations. He urged the global community to protest against what he termed U.S. “hooliganism,” which he claimed undermines regional peace and stability, calling for an immediate cessation of U.S. military force.
North Korea’s denunciation of U.S. military actions in Yemen highlights the ongoing tensions regarding international military interventions and sovereignty issues. The harsh criticism from Ma Tong-hui reflects concerns about civilian casualties and the broader implications of unilateral military actions by powerful nations. The call to the international community to protest against U.S. actions emphasizes the need for a unified stance on maintaining global peace and security.
