Houthi rebels in Yemen have pledged to limit their attacks on Saudi Arabia to military vessels in the Red Sea, according to reports from a secret summit in Oman. The promise comes as regional tensions escalate, with the group seeking to avoid disrupting commercial shipping routes. The agreement, reportedly discussed with U.S. Officials, aims to prevent further economic fallout from the ongoing conflict.
Saudi Arabia has been struggling to defend its borders against Houthi missile and drone attacks, with officials stating that missile interceptors are running low. The kingdom has turned to allies such as France, Britain, Pakistan, and Egypt for additional support. This marks a growing reliance on international military cooperation to counter the rebels.
Meanwhile, the Houthi movement has deepened its ties with African militant groups, raising concerns about the spread of regional instability. The group’s actions have also contributed to rising fuel prices in Nigeria and other countries, highlighting the broader economic impact of the conflict.
International reactions have been mixed, with some nations condemning the Houthi attacks while others seek diplomatic engagement. The situation remains volatile, with the potential for further escalation in the region.
