UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that Yemen risks slipping into a dangerous new phase of conflict as southern forces advance and humanitarian conditions deteriorate. Briefing the Security Council, he urged restraint, renewed UN-led dialogue, and the immediate release of detained UN personnel, warning that unilateral actions could deepen fragmentation and trigger wider regional instability.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed grave concern over the ongoing arbitrary detention of 59 UN personnel by Houthi authorities, condemning their referral to a special criminal court.
