On the way to escalation? Houthis shell Saudi weapons depots as a preventive measure
According to a report in a newspaper affiliated with Hezbollah, the Houthis began shelling Saudi weapons depots in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait area. The bombings began after they received information about Saudi Arabia's preparations for an attack against them, in coordination with the USA and the UK.
The Houthis began shelling Saudi weapons depots on the west coast after receiving information that Saudi Arabia had begun preparing for a large-scale campaign against them that would start south of Hodeidah and end north of the city, in coordination with the USA and the UK. This is according to a report published today, Thursday, in Al-Akhbar, which is affiliated with the "Axis of Resistance."
According to the report, this campaign, which was supposed to get underway under the slogan of 'ensuring freedom of international navigation in the Red Sea,' was intended to grant the USA a wide range of action in an attempt to establish its influence in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and subsequently pave the way for breaking the blockade that Yemen is imposing on Saudi shipping. The Houthis have increased their aerial activity this week against centers of forces identified with Riyadh in western Yemen.
Just last week, it was reported that an Indian vessel was hit by fire while it was near the coast of Yemen. The ship capsized and sank, but all 14 crew members were rescued safely by the Yemeni Coast Guard. According to the sources, the Americans are now trying, through Saudi Arabia, to gain control of the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea.
