The Saudi-led Arab coalition announced on Friday that a mine, planted by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen, struck a commercial cargo ship in the southern Red Sea. In a statement, the coalition said the vessel suffered minor damage. No casualties were reported. The coalition noted that the terrorist Houthis have increased their planting of mines in the southern Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait, warning that such acts are a threat to international marine navigation and shipping lanes.
