NewzYemen’s Houthi movement has officially denied reports that it intends to impose fees on commercial vessels transiting the Red Sea. The group stated that the maritime route remains free to use, directly contradicting recent claims regarding the implementation of new financial charges for shipping companies.
The Houthi-run Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center issued a formal advisory urging shipping firms to refrain from making payments or sharing sensitive information with any unauthorized entities. This statement serves as a clarification of the group's current maritime policy amid ongoing regional tensions and concerns regarding the safety and regulation of international shipping lanes.
