Moscow calls on sides in Yemen conflict to immediately stop military actions

World

MOSCOW, Moscow is concerned with the latest developments in Yemen amid deteriorating military and security situation in the country, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday, according to TASS News Agency.

“Units of the Ansar Allah movement launched an offensive on the second most important city in the country, Aden. In response, Saudi Arabia aviation delivered strikes at several positions on the territory of Yemen, including in the capital of Sanaa, overnight to March 26,” the foreign ministry said. “Riyadh, supported by Arab states of the Persian Gulf [except Oman], several other countries and with logistical aid from US, is acting in accordance with the request of Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi,” the statement added.

“According to preliminary information, there are victims among civilians and among militants from the Ansar Allah movement,” the foreign ministry said. “Russian Embassy in Sanaa and General Consulate in Aden continue their work after strengthening security. No Russian citizens permanently residing in Yemen were injured in the night strikes, according to our diplomatic agencies,” the statement said.

The Russian Embassy in Yemen does not yet plan to evacuate its personnel and Russian citizens from the country, the embassy’s press secretary Timofey Bykov confirmed earlier on Thursday. “The embassy is working in the routine mode. Evacuation is not planned. Security measures have been strengthened,” Bykov said.

“Moscow expresses its gravest concern with the latest developments in the friendly Yemen Republic. Russia has always consistently supported the country’s sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity,” the foreign ministry said. “Along with that, we consider it especially important that all sides in the Yemen conflict and their foreign allies immediately stop all military actions and attempts to reach their goals with weapons,” the ministry stressed. “We are convinced that deep disagreements existing in Yemen now can only be solved by nationwide dialogue,” it added.

“In its turn, Russia, in its contacts with all parties involved in the Yemen developments, continues to build up, including on the UN platform, efforts on soonest resolution of the military conflict in Yemen,” the foreign ministry said.
