The Arab Coalition said on Saturday that the Iran-backed Houthis continue to violate international navigation in the Red Sea, stressing that the ships that were subjected to Houthi piracy attacks were planned by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, presenting a set of evidence including photos and videos.
The coalition added in a press briefing headed by the Arab Coalition spokesman Brig. Gen. Turki al-Maliki on Saturday, that the militia violated international laws with piracy and kidnappings in international waters
Al-Maliki said the Houthis launched 432 ballistic missiles from Yemen’s Hodeida port, in addition to 100 booby-trapped boats to target navigation in the Red Sea.
He said the Arab Coalition had reported 13 violations against commercial ships by Houthi militia from Hodeida, pointing to the destruction of dozens of mines planted by the militia in the Red Sea.
