DUBAI: The Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Abdul Latif bin Rashid Al-Zayani has condemned the continuation of armed conflict in Aden, Saudi state news agency SPA reported on Saturday.

His comments came on the same day a Houthi drone targeting Khamis Mushait in ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ, was intercepted. Al-Zayani described the ongoing war as an “outrageous crime that violates the bonds of brotherhood, religion and humanitarian values.â€

He added that it endangered the lives of civilians and threatened security and stability in the region. But Al-Zayani said the current stage required Yemeni forces to achieve security and stability in the country.

His views were mirrored by Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, who said there was a need to focus on eliminating the Houthi militia and other terrorist groups.

Al-Nahyan called for a responsible and serious action to end the clashes and maintain security and stability.
