The Ansarullah movement of Yemen warned Saudi Arabia that any war-mongering move in Yemen coasts and Bab el-Mandab will put a great part of the world trade in danger, as it said in a statement. 

In a statement issued by spokesman, Mohammad Abdelsalam, the Ansarullah movement said that attacks or air raids on the strait which provides passage to trade fleet, especially the ones travelling towards Suez Canal, will lead to major problems in international trade.

The statement said that war in Bab el-Mandab will afflict not merely warships but trade vessel and oil tankers as well, as IRNA reported.

It said that war in the strait will endanger safe navigation and impact the whole region- not just Yemen- in a bad manner.

A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out a military aggression on Yemen by launching airstrikes against the country since March 26. 

The airstrikes have not been authorized by the United Nations [UN].
