The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, during a press conference, asserted that no one authorized the British and Americans to bomb Yemen.


“Without a doubt, the United States, together with the British and some of its other allies, have simply surpassed, violated, trampled on all conceivable norms of international law,” he said.

In this regard, the head of Russian diplomacy compared the situation in Yemen with that suffered by Libya in 2011 when it was bombed by the United States.

“There was no reason, not even an imaginary one, to use force there. But the country was bombed, turned into a black hole . To this day, no one can rebuild the Libyan State,” Lavrov emphasized.

As published by the RT web portal, the Russian foreign minister's statements come in the midst of the fourth round of attacks against Houthi targets in Yemen in less than a week.
