A 2022 truce in Yemen has been under strain with recent exchanges of fire between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis.
Saudi Arabia struck Houthi military targets in Hodeida on Friday with rebel media reporting two injured after the Iran-backed group announced a maritime blockade of the kingdom and hit its ships.
Saudi Arabia and the Houthis traded fire recently for the first time in years, threatening a 2022 truce that has held despite expiring. The Saudi-led coalition said it hit Houthi sites and destroyed targets threatening commercial vessels in response to attacks on Red Sea shipping. A Yemeni security source said a naval base in Hodeida and a military camp on Kamaran island were among the targets.
The flare-up followed an attack on a Saudi ship, as the rebels’ maritime blockade threatened the top oil exporter’s ability to supply the world following Iran’s parallel blockade of the Strait of Hormuz – Riyadh’s only other maritime route.
“The terrorist Houthi military … targeted commercial ships in the Red Sea,” Turki al-Maliki, the Saudi-led coalition’s spokesman, said on social media.
