Ship traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb strait drops after Yemeni Houthi attacks on Saudi oil installations along the Red Sea coast, according to shipping data cited by multiple outlets. Reports say that on Sunday, only 11 commodity vessels transited Bab el-Mandeb, the lowest level in months, indicating a slowdown in Red Sea shipping activity. One source also notes that while transit volumes decline in the Red Sea, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains low over the weekend, based on data from Kpler. The accounts collectively link the reduction in Red Sea vessel movement to the timing of the Houthi strike on Saudi infrastructure, suggesting that security concerns are affecting regional shipping routes. Across the reports, the figures focus on vessel movements through key choke points rather than specific cargo impacts or follow-on measures by shipping companies. The information presented relies on third-party shipping analytics and does not provide additional details on the extent of damage from the attacks beyond the reported targeting of Saudi oil installations.
