Arab Coalition foils planned Houthi attack in the Red Sea‏

English version

اليمن العربي

The Saudi-led Arab coalition announced on Monday that it has thwarted an “imminent hostile” attack by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen in the Red Sea.

 

It said that the Houthis had booby-trapped a vessel and sought to carry out the attack at sea.

 

The coalition condemned the Houthis, accusing them of using Yemen’s Hodeidah province as a platform for carrying out hostile acts in complete disregard of the 2018 Stockholm Agreement.

 

The militias continue to pose a threat to international marine navigation and shipping lanes, it stressed.
