Arab Coalition Foils Imminent Houthi Attack in Red Sea

SMA NEWS – RIYADH

The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said Saturday it had foiled an imminent attack in the Red Sea by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis.

It said the attack would have used two explosive-laden boats in the Red Sea, noting that the two boats were destroyed off the Yemeni port of Salif.

“Houthi militia continues to threaten maritime lines and world trade,” the Arab Coalition stressed in a statement.

Earlier on Friday, the Coalition also intercepted and destroyed an explosive-laden drone launched by the Iran-backed Houthi militias towards the Saudi city of Khamis Mushait.
