Yemen's Ansar Allah group announced a missile attack on Israel on Monday and declared a ban on Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, raising the spectre of a return to major disruption on the key route. 'We declare a complete and total ban on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea,' said a statement. 'We consider all enemy movements to be legitimate military targets for our armed forces from the moment this statement is issued.' — AFP
