Houthis impose naval blockade on Saudi Arabia

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said on Monday they were imposing a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, a move that threatens ​to escalate the conflict in the region and disrupt global energy supply and trade beyond ​the Gulf.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, that the Houthis' armed forces in a statement said they were ⁠declaring "a maritime embargo against the criminal Saudi enemy, based on ​the equation of 'an eye for an eye', effective immediately".

They said the decision ​was in response to what they called "an unjust and oppressive siege" imposed on Yemen by the Saudis.
