In a recent development in the ongoing conflict in Yemen, Houthi rebels allegedly launched two attacks on American aircraft carriers within a span of 24 hours. Following these claims, China has called for dialogue to reduce tensions in the Red Sea region.
The spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mao Ning, stated during a press briefing that China opposes any actions that escalate the situation in the Red Sea region. The Houthi rebels have portrayed their attacks as retaliation against American aggression.
On Sunday, US President Donald Trump declared a ‘decisive and powerful’ military operation against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. This announcement came nearly 15 days after the US redefined the Houthi rebels as a foreign terrorist organization.
In a statement on social media, President Trump instructed the US military to conduct operations against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. He accused them of piracy, violence, and perpetuating terrorism in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
Regarding these events, Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, expressed concern over the escalating tensions in the region. He emphasized the importance of finding a peaceful resolution through dialogue and negotiation.
The conflict in Yemen has seen previous instances of violence, with casualties reported on both sides. The Houthi rebels have been accused of using missiles and drones to target American and coalition ships in the region, leading to increased hostilities.
Khatri highlighted the potential humanitarian impact of the conflict, noting that civilian lives are at risk due to the ongoing attacks and military operations. He urged all parties involved to prioritize peace and seek diplomatic solutions to prevent further casualties.
The situation in Yemen remains complex, with international powers closely monitoring the developments. The conflict has implications beyond the region, affecting global trade routes and security concerns. Efforts towards de-escalation and peaceful resolution are crucial to mitigating the impact of the conflict on the civilian population and ensuring regional stability.
