Also, according to the Houthi leader, as part of the general mobilization, more than 273 thousand fighters were trained and more than 1.1 thousand military exercises, processions and parades were held.

Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that the Houthis sent a notice banning US, Israeli and British ships and associated persons and companies from passing through sea routes near Yemen, in the Red and Arabian Seas, as well as in the Gulf of Aden.

The document clarifies that ships flying the flag of the United States and Great Britain, as well as Israel, or owned by American or British individuals or legal entities, are prohibited from entering the waters of the Red and Arabian Seas, as well as the Gulf of Aden.
