A Houthi spokesman has clarified that maritime navigation in the Red Sea remains generally secure, though the group has reportedly restricted movement for vessels linked to Saudi Arabia. The statement comes amid ongoing tensions in the region, raising questions about the scope of the group’s enforcement. Shipping companies and global powers are likely monitoring the situation closely for potential disruptions to critical trade routes. The distinction between open waters and targeted restrictions could have significant implications for commercial and military operations in the area.
Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said maritime navigation in the Red Sea is safe, except for Saudi ships.
