Houthis Fire Missiles, Drones At Saudi Arabia After Airstrikes On Hodeida, 12% Of Global Trade Through Red Sea At Risk
Yemen's Houthi rebels fired missiles and drones at Saudi Aramco sites in Yanbu and Jizan after Saudi airstrikes on Hodeida.
The Houthis threaten to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait to Saudi-linked shipping, through which 12% of global trade passes.
Saudi airstrikes hit Hodeida province, targeting what the Saudi-led coalition called 'legitimate military targets' linked to threats to commercial vessels.
Houthi leader Mahdi al-Mashat said ending the aggression and lifting the blockade are needed to prevent a blockade of the Bab el-Mandeb.
The escalation comes amid rising US-Iran tensions and follows Houthi attacks on two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea.
