SANAA, Yemen: Houthi missiles Bab al-Mandab reports said five projectiles were fired toward the strategic strait on Monday, according to Al Arabiya, citing Yemeni military sources.
There is no identified specific target, nor confirmed information on interceptions, casualties or damage from the five-missile launch.
Bab al-Mandab links the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden. The narrow waterway forms a key route for ships moving toward and from the Suez Canal.
The reported launch followed renewed Houthi missile and drone attacks in western Yemen. Recent strikes hit Mocha, near the strait, and Marib, according to the supplied material.
