Houthis promise military ‘surprises’ in Red Sea
Yemen’s Houthis will introduce “military surprises” in their Red Sea operations, the Iran-aligned group’s leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi says in a televised speech.
The Houthis have repeatedly fired on international commercial ships since mid-November in solidarity with Palestinians over the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza triggered by Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
