Saudi-led coalition warns Houthis against traditional boat arms smuggling

The Saudi-led coalition issued a public warning to Houthi forces against using traditional wooden boats for arms smuggling, urging boat owners to avoid involvement. This is a continuation of the coalition's maritime interdiction campaign in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, but the explicit targeting of traditional vessels signals a potential escalation in enforcement. The warning may precede increased inspections or strikes on such boats, raising regional shipping and security risks.
