The Saudi navy’s western fleet has also secured Yemen’s main ports including Aden and Midi.

The Red Sea is one of the world’s most strategic water arteries, connecting Europe to the Persian Gulf and East Asia.

To the south, Bab El-Mandab strait connects the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, while, to the north, Egypt’s Suez Canal provides passage to the Mediterranean Sea.
