Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis have introduced “submarine weapons” in their attacks on seagoing vessels, which they say they are carrying out in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza War, their leader says.
“Operations in the Red and Arabian Seas, Bab el-Mandeb Starit, and the Gulf of Aden are continuing, escalating, and effective,” Abdulmalik al-Houthi adds in a televised speech.
