Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman received a phone call from Pakistani Prime Minister who condemned the Houthi militia's attack on a Saudi vessel and its threat to freedom of navigation in the Red Sea.

“Such actions threaten regional security, undermine freedom of navigation, challenge the rules-based maritime order," it says.

Reaffirms its right to take "all necessary measures" in self-defence; expresses concern over attempts to drag Saudi Arabia into conflict.
