The Saudi-led coalition has dismantled sea mines that were planted by Houthi militias in the Red Sea near Mokha port of Yemen, Al Arabiya local news reported on Saturday.
The coalition confirmed that the mines target international navigation, meanwhile the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence warned early this month commercial ships from the risks of sea mines planted by Houthis in the Strait of Bab Al-Mandab near the entrance to the port of Mokha.
The office said in its report that the attacks on ships in the strait, especially commercial ones, stimulate other effective bodies to intervene, pointing out that the U.S. navy will necessarily assume the leading role in any effort to protect the freedom of ship navigation, stressing that the closure of such waterway would lead to substantial increases in total energy costs and global oil prices.
