Yemenis ban on Israeli ships in Red Sea

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
