Houthi political bureau member Hizam al-Assad says international shipping through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait remains safe and routine, rejecting concerns about a possible blockade. He also confirms that the movement has completed an operation to control areas and districts near the strait in western Yemen, calling it an internal effort to assert Yemeni sovereignty.
