Security incident reported in Bab al-Mandab Strait

Also on Wednesday morning, gunmen on speedboats approached two vessels in the Strait, the British Maritime Security Agency Ambrey said.
The British Maritime Trade Organisation also noted the “incident”, which took place off the Oman coast.
Yemeni forces have been targeting vessels owned by Israeli businessmen or companies, or ships headed to ports in Israel, and obstructing their passage through the Bab al-Mandab Strait at the southern end of the Red Sea, according to Reuters.
On Sunday, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced the introduction of a new decision in support of Gaza, which will see the prohibition of all ships en route to the occupation entity, regardless of their nationality, from passing through the Arabian and Red seas until food and medicine sufficient to the needs of the population enter the besieged Strip.
This comes alongside other attacks claimed by Yemen against Israeli targets, including the launch of long-range cruise missiles and attacking drones on several occasions, as well as ballistic missiles at "Eilat" located in the southernmost region of occupied Palestine.
