Saudis impose naval blockade on Yemeni coast

DUBAI: Saudi Arabia has imposed a naval blockade on northern Yemen’s Red Sea coast to stop weapons from reaching the rebels it is fighting in the area, a Saudi government adviser said on Wednesday. Last week, Saudi Arabia launched an offensive against the rebels after they staged a cross-border raid during which they seized Saudi territory, accusing the kingdom of colluding with the Yemeni government against them. The world’s largest oil exporter is getting increasingly drawn into a conflict to its south between Sanaa and the rebels, which Riyadh fears could weaken stability in the world’s biggest oil exporter. reuters
