UN Security Council to vote on resolution after Houthi attacks in Red Sea

The UN Security Council will vote Wednesday on a US-drafted resolution that would condemn Houthi attacks on merchant and commercial vessels in the Red Sea. 

"We're working closely with the UN Security Council members to pass a resolution to show international solidarity on this critical issue," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters.

Kirby said the text of the resolution, which will likely be voted on later Wednesday, "unequivocally" demands that the Houthis cease attacks.
