Houthis Declare Maritime Embargo on Saudi Arabia Through Bab al Mandeb

Yemen's Houthis announced a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia, barring Saudi vessels from transiting the Bab al Mandeb Strait. Saudi Arabia ships about 4.5 million barrels of crude oil per day through this key waterway.

Yemen's Houthi group declared a maritime embargo targeting Saudi Arabia, effectively prohibiting Saudi maritime traffic from passing through the Bab al Mandeb Strait.

The strait is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. Saudi Arabia exports roughly 4.5 million barrels of crude oil per day via this route.

The announcement raises the risk of supply disruptions in the region, with potential implications for global oil markets and shipping costs.
