Houthis Target Ships in Bab al-Mandab
International naval forces have warned that the Houthi militias are preparing to attack ships passing through the Bab Al Mandab Strait. The Houthis have deployed rockets and drones near the strait amid escalating tensions in the region. Additionally, the Houthi group announced a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia and threatened to cut off its oil exports through the same strait, which is a vital passage for global markets. Despite this, maritime navigation has continued at a moderate pace, with a 34% reduction in the number of ships in a single day due to the escalation. Meanwhile, oil tankers are being targeted off the coasts of Oman and the UAE, as Iran’s attacks on the Strait of Hormuz increase, reflecting a rise in maritime tensions in the region.
