Yemen’s Houthis announced this week that they would restrict Saudi-linked vessels from transiting the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, citing an attack on Sanaa International Airport the previous week that they attributed to Riyadh. Several tankers carrying Saudi crude reportedly reversed course after the announcement, though a US Navy-led maritime center stated there had been no confirmed attacks on vessels in the Red Sea in the preceding 48 hours.
The development has prompted concerns over potential effects on shipping through the strait.
