Yemen's Houthis have begun targeting ships in the Red Sea's southern waterway and the Bab al-Mandab strait.

About The Bab Al-Mandab Strait

  • It is a strait that connects the Red Sea (northwest) with the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean (southeast). It is located between Arabia (northeast) and Africa (southwest).

  • It is an important strategic connection in the marine commerce route connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean via the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.

  • It is one of the world's most important seaborne commodity shipping routes, primarily for crude oil and petroleum.

  • Yemen borders it on the Arabian Peninsula, and Djibouti and Eritrea border it on the African coast.

Key Points About The Red Sea

  • It is a semi-enclosed inlet (or extension) of the Indian Ocean located between the African and Asian continents. It has one of the hottest waters on the planet.

  • The Sinai Peninsula divides the northern Red Sea into the Gulfs of Aqaba and Suez, which are connected to the Mediterranean Sea via the famed Suez Canal.

Countries bordering the Red Sea

  •  Yemen and Saudi Arabia border the Red Sea to the east.
  • It is bounded to the north and west by Egypt, and to the west by Sudan, Eritrea, and Djibouti.
