France called for greater pressure on Yemen's Houthis to end their attacks in the region, particularly against Saudi Arabia.

He was responding to a question on whether Paris backed the idea of the European Union designating the Houthis as a terrorist organisation.

Saudi Arabia is pressing the EU to make the designation, but has yet to overcome European concerns that it could undermine a future peace process, Reuters reported, citing six European officials.

Also on Thursday, the UN Security Council voted unanimously to extend Yemen-related sanctions, including asset freezes and travel bans, for another year, while demanding an end to the group's attacks on Saudi Arabia.
