Arab Coalition thwarted the looming Houthi attack in the Red Sea

The Saudi-led Arab coalition announced on Monday that it’s thwarted an “imminent hostile” attack by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen within the Red Sea .

It said that the Houthis had booby-trapped a vessel and sought to hold out the attack stumped.

The coalition condemned the Houthis, accusing them of using Yemen’s Hodeidah province as a platform for completing hostile acts in complete disregard of the 2018 Stockholm Agreement.

The militias still pose a threat to international marine navigation and shipping lanes, it stressed.
