Yemen's Houthis announce maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia

Published Updated

Yemen’s Houthi rebels have announced a maritime embargo of their foe Saudi Arabia, after the pair traded fire last week for the first time in years, AFP reports.

The rebels “declare a maritime embargo against the criminal Saudi enemy, based on the equation of ‘an eye for an eye,’ effective immediately upon the issuance of this statement,” military spokesman Yahya Saree said.
