UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned Friday a drone strike on Tel Aviv claimed by Yemen’s Houthis that left one person dead, expressing concern over a possible further escalation, a spokesman says.

“The Secretary-General remains deeply concerned about the risk such dangerous acts pose for further escalation in the region,” says Farhan Haq, adding a call for “maximum restraint.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to publicly comment on the strike.
