Houthis announce ban on passage of British ships through Red and Arabian seas

The Houthis has imposed a ban on the passage of British ships through the Red and Arabian Seas after Britain announced its intention to join US strikes on provinces controlled by the Houthis, RIA Novosti writes, citing a source from the movement.

“The movement intends to prohibit the passage of British commercial ships through the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and the Gulf of Aden, just as it has for U.S. and Israeli ships. This step has been taken in response to U.K. announcement of conducting airstrikes against Yemen alongside the United States,” the source stated.

The source assured that the ban on British ships will significantly impact the British economy.
