Russia's Lavrov tells US to 'stop aggression against Yemen'

Russia on Thursday said the United States should stop strikes against the Houthis in Yemen to aid a diplomatic resolution to a standoff over the group's attacks in the Red Sea.

"The most important thing now is to stop the aggression against Yemen, because the more the Americans and the British bomb, the less willing the Houthis are to talk," Lavrov told reporters in Moscow.
