Shipping safe for all nations except Saudi: Houthis after seizing Yemen's coast

After Houthis seized full control of the Yemeni coastline, expanding control over the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, their spokesperson Yahya Saree said that shipping is safe for all countries except Saudi Arabia. "We'll continue to enforce blockade for blockade and escalation for escalation," he added. Houthis claimed to have killed, wounded, or captured hundreds of Saudi-backed fighters.
