The Houthis, a group in Yemen, have announced a maritime embargo on Saudi Arabia. This decision comes after tensions rose in the region, especially in the Red Sea, which is crucial for Saudi oil shipments. The Houthis claimed they launched missiles at Abha airport in response to air strikes by Saudi Arabia on Sanaa airport. Yemen is suffering from a long civil war that started in 2014. This war has caused significant loss of life and created one of the worst humanitarian crises in history, affecting millions. The Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of imposing an unjust blockade on their country. They plan to stop Saudi ships from passing through important waterways. They began to attack merchant vessels in nearby waters, and some ships have already sunk. Experts say that while the Houthis have not confirmed more attacks, the mere announcement creates uncertainty for shipping. The future actions of the Houthis could change the dynamics of trade in the region.
