The news was announced by the Saudi-led military coalition fighting the twenty rebels in Yemen. According to Saudi television al-Arabia, the coalition accuses the 20 of deploying a marine mine in the Red Sea. He added that no one was injured aboard the freighter in the explosion. Yemeni insurgents enjoying Iranian support have yet to respond.

In early December, the Saudi coalition destroyed two explosive-laden ships in the area. The “explosive ships” were also reportedly launched by the twenty. Rebels against the Yemeni government have long threatened the safety of shipping in the Red Sea.

In addition to barges laden with explosives, water mines are often set up, which Saudi reports are made in Iran.

Riyadh, on the other hand, accuses Iran of supporting the 20 with weapons, missiles and ammunition for “disturbing stability in the region.”

In Yemen for six years
The civil war between the rebels of the 1920s against the government and forces loyal to Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, exiled in Saudi Arabia, has been supported since 2015 by a military coalition led by Saudi Arabia. Sunni Saudi Arabia fears that its regional rival, Shiite Iran, will take its foot in the Arabian Peninsula more seriously through the boom of twenty, also Shiite religion, and will try to avoid it by all means.
