Saudi Arabia Warns of Houthi Threats to Red Sea Navigation
Riyadh calls protection of international waterways a shared global responsibility amid threats to the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
Saudi Arabia has issued a warning regarding threats posed by Yemen's Houthi movement to navigation in the Red Sea, according to Anadolu Agency.
The kingdom described the protection of international waterways, including the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, as a shared global responsibility, the report said.
The warning comes amid ongoing concerns over the safety of maritime traffic through the strategic corridor, which connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean via the Suez Canal and has been a focal point of regional tensions in recent years.
Further details on the specific nature of the threats or any accompanying measures announced by Saudi authorities were not immediately available.
