The Saudi-led Arab coalition has removed a naval mine placed in the south of the Red Sea by the Houthi militias on Saturday.
The coalition said that 157 naval mines have been removed after being randomly deployed by the Iran-backed Houthis.
The Houthi militia continues to threaten maritime navigation and global trade in the Bab al-Mandab strait and the southern Red Sea, the coalition said.
Coalition Spokesperson Colonel Turki al-Maliki stressed that the terrorist Houthi militia continues to launch systematic and deliberate attacks targeting civilian objects and civilians in the Saudi Southern region.
Earlier this week, the Coalition also successfully intercepted and destroyed two explosive-laden boats in the Red Sea.
According to Maliki, the boats were launched from Hodeidah Governorate, which the Houthi militias use "as a base to launch ballistic missiles, drones, booby-trapped remote-operated boats."
