The attacks occurred in the northern Jarraf district of Sana`a during evening prayers. Minutes after a suicide bomber blew himself up inside the mosque, a car bomb was detonated outside.
In a press statement released here, the 15-nation body also condemned the killing by an armed gunman of two staff members of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Yemen.
The two were shot dead also on Wednesday when they were traveling with colleagues in a convoy between Saada and Sana`a.
"The members of the Security Council reaffirmed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their motivation, wherever and whenever, and by whomsoever committed," said the statement.
Meanwhile, the council urged all parties to facilitate the urgent delivery of humanitarian assistance to all parts of Yemen, as well as rapid, safe and unhindered access for humanitarian actors to reach people in need of humanitarian assistance, including medical aid.
Security situation sharply deteriorated in Yemen since early March when conflicts erupted in several provinces in the country`s southern and northern regions.
As Yemeni conflict drags on, UN humanitarian wings have warned of the deepening impact of the continued conflict on civilians, with four in five Yemenis requiring humanitarian aid, and nearly 1.5 million people being internally displaced.
