North Korea condemned the U.S. military action against Yemen’s Houthi rebels as a “wanton” violation of international law. Ambassador Ma Tong-hui criticized the attacks for infringing on sovereignty and called for international protest against U.S. actions, signaling strong opposition from Pyongyang amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions.
North Korea has condemned the United States for its military actions against Yemen’s Houthi rebels, labeling them as a “wanton” violation of international law. This criticism was articulated by Ma Tong-hui, the North Korean ambassador to Egypt and envoy to Yemen, in a report released by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). The comments came in response to a significant military operation the Pentagon initiated targeting the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The recent U.S. military attack reportedly resulted in numerous casualties, including many women and children, as indicated by Yemen’s health authorities. This operation follows Washington’s designation of the Houthi rebels as a “foreign terrorist organization” earlier this year. Ma described the military actions as a “wanton violation of all international laws” that infringes on the sovereignty of nations without justification.
Ma expressed alarm over the United States’ actions, accusing it of pursuing “exclusive and unilateral geopolitical ambition” while violating the “sovereignty and territorial integrity” of other nations. He called for the international community to voice their concerns and protest against what he referred to as U.S. “hooliganism” that undermines regional peace and stability.

Ma Tong-hui’s statements emphasize concerns over unilateral military operations and their consequences on regional stability.
