Pakistan condemns Houthi attempts to weaponize Bab Al-Mandab, backs Saudi Arabia’s security

Bab al-Mandab, Yemen ·

Pakistan's UN envoy said on Thursday that Islamabad condemns Houthi attacks on merchant vessels and seafarers in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, reaffirming support for Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Iran-aligned Houthis have reportedly intensified attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab.

Yemen's Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) controls Sanaa and much of northern Yemen, and has carried out attacks on Red Sea shipping since late 2023. The Bab al-Mandab Strait is a key route for international maritime trade.
