Visegrád 24(@visegrad24):BREAKING: The Houthis have taken Hisn Murad. It’s the point on the Yemeni coast where the Bab Al-Mandeb Strait is the narrowest (25 km). If they manage to entrench themselves there, it will become incredibly hard to sail through the Strait without Houthi permission. If the Houthis would decide to expand their blockade against Saudi ships to other countries too, the traffic through the Suez Canal will come to a standstill and cargo vessels will have to sail around Africa again.
