WorldYemen’s Houthis say Bab al-Mandab Strait remains open, deny closure reports

A statement says the position announced by the Yemeni Armed Forces is restricted to a naval blockade of Saudi Arabia. The group therefore presents the measure as directed at Saudi Arabia rather than as a closure of the strategic strait.
