Saudi Arabia’s UN representative, Abdulaziz al-Wasil, announced on Thursday that the kingdom will implement all necessary measures to deter Houthi attacks and safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The statement was delivered during a UN Security Council meeting addressing the ongoing regional security situation.
