Ship traffic through Bab al-Mandab declines
Shipping traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait has decreased to its lowest levels after the Yemeni Houthi group launched attacks on Saudi oil facilities along the Red Sea coast. Data from Kpler showed that 11 ships carrying bulk goods transited the strait yesterday, Sunday, marking the lowest number in months. The Red Sea navigation has been disrupted off Yemen since last week due to heightened Houthi activities aimed at imposing a blockade on Saudi exports. This has increased regional tensions. According to media reports, the Hormuz Strait navigation channel remains busy but at a reduced level of activity, with preparations underway to reopen the "Al-Masna" crossing and continue efforts to ensure maritime security in the area.
