Gruparea teroristă Houthi din Yemen susţine că nu blochează Strâmtoarea Bab-el-Mandeb, ci doar navele saudite
The Houthi movement clarified that their maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia does not completely close the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. They claim the blockade only affects the Saudi side. Recent navigation data shows that some vessels turned back due to warnings of potential attacks on Saudi ships. However, maritime traffic continues through the strait, which is crucial for Saudi oil exports. The Houthis initiated the blockade amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, launching drone and missile attacks in the region.
