Saudi Arabia calls for international action to protect navigation and warns of the repercussions of Houthi attacks

Saudi Arabia ·

Saudi Arabia on Sunday called for joint international action to protect maritime corridors and ensure freedom of navigation. It warned against using straits as tools of political and military pressure.

Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition backing Yemen's government against the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah), which controls Sanaa and much of the north, since 2015. Red Sea shipping has been a major focus of Houthi attacks in recent years.
