Houthis deny imposing Bab al-Mandab fees
The Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center, managed by the Houthis in Yemen, denied reports of any requests to impose fees on commercial ships passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. It affirmed that passage remains free and depends on the ships' choices. This comes after regional sources mentioned that the Houthis are considering charging fees for transit following a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia, noting discussions with Iran on the matter without specifying a timeline for implementation. The center confirmed that the safe passage service is free of charge and any demand for payment contradicts the stance of the Yemeni government. It urged shipping companies not to pay any money or provide unauthorized information.
