Yemen's Transport Minister Saleh Al-Jubwani said that the Iranian backed Houthi militia had threatened to blow up 19 ships in the Al-Mukhtaf area of Hodeidah port carrying more than 200,000 tons of fuel after Houthi prevented them from entering the port. Al-Jubwani said in a statement to the website of the Yemeni Ministry of Defense that this act is a fascist and indicates its barbarity and the extent of criminality, adding that the Houthi militias are a threat not only to Yemen but also to the region and the whole world. The Yemeni Minister held Houthi full responsibility for such actions, calling on the international community to act urgently to stop the disaster, stressing the readiness of the port of Aden to receive ships held by the militia and distribute its fuel load throughout the country.
