Security Concerns Raised by Houthi Ministry
The ministry expressed grave concern over any disruptions in the cables resulting from the militarization of the Red Sea by U.S. and British naval vessels. They emphasized the potential risks to information security, as well as economic and social stability globally, urging for immediate attention to this issue.
Houthi Attacks and International Response
Amid escalating tensions, the Houthis have launched drones and missiles at commercial vessels since November 19 as a protest against military operations in Gaza. In response, the United States and Britain have conducted strikes against Houthi targets, further intensifying the conflict.
