Yemen’s Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthi movement, announced that they have anti-ship missiles ready to target vessels violating their imposed blockade on Saudi Arabia. This development comes in response to a Saudi attack on Sanaa International Airport, prompting the Houthis to declare a retaliatory naval blockade. The missiles, reportedly supplied by Iran, have historically been used in attacks on Red Sea shipping, significantly impacting global trade. Market pricing suggests an increased likelihood of the Houthis successfully targeting shipping in the near future, reflecting heightened tensions in the region.
