Manama, Jul 9, 2020, SPA -- Bahrain has strongly denounced the Iran-backed Houthi militias' preparation of two booby-trapped boats to carry out hostilities and terrorist operations in Bab Al-Mandab strait and the southern Red Sea. In a statement, Bahrain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs commended the competence of the Coalition Forces supporting the Legitimacy in Yemen that were able to target the two boats and destroy them, stressing that these repeated hostilities reflect a clear insistence from the Houthis to threaten the safety of maritime lanes, and seriously target the security and stability of the region. Bahrain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed the necessity for the international community to fulfill its responsibilities towards these terrorist militias and all those behind them, and to take firm measures against these repeated violations that impede maritime navigation and violate all international laws and norms. --SPA 17:18 LOCAL TIME 14:18 GMT 0011 www.spa.gov.sa/w1367795
