Houthi chief negotiator says Red Sea ship attacks will continue

Yemen’s Houthi group’s chief negotiator, Mohammed Abdulsalam, said on Monday that attacks on Red Sea ships will continue despite US and UK air strikes on Yemen.

“Attacks to stop Israeli ships or those heading to the ports of the occupied Palestine will continue,” Abdulsalam told Reuters news agency.

Soon after his announcement, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported a suspected attack off the coast of Yemen.
