Saudi civil defense says early-warning sirens activated in Riyadh.

China's deputy UN ambassador Sun Lei urged genuine multilateralism and equal treatment of states, saying major powers should lead in upholding the UN Charter and opposing unilateralism. Beijing said it opposes unilateral sanctions without Security Council authorization and reiterated that Council sanctions should aim to facilitate political solutions, follow Charter principles, exhaust peaceful means first and minimize harm to civilians and third countries. China urged dispute resolution by direct dialogue and for international judicial bodies to act only with parties' consent, warning against arbitrary jurisdictional expansion, and said it has taken an objective, constructive diplomatic role on Ukraine and the Israel‑Palestine conflict.
