The Saudi-led Arab coalition announced on Monday that it has thwarted an “imminent hostile” attack by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen in the Red Sea.
It said that the Houthis had booby-trapped a vessel and sought to carry out the attack at sea.
The coalition condemned the Houthis, accusing them of using Yemen’s Hodeidah province as a platform for carrying out hostile acts in complete disregard of the 2018 Stockholm Agreement.
The militias continue to pose a threat to international marine navigation and shipping lanes, it stressed.
