A spokesman for Yemen’s Houthis has said the group is engaging in Oman-mediated talks with “international parties” over its ongoing “operations” in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, Reuters reports.

Mohamed Abdel-Salam, the spokesman, reiterated that the Houthis will continue to target Israeli vessels or ships heading to Israel until the “aggression and siege” on Gaza end.

The Iranian-backed Houthi movement has been attacking vessels in response to the Gaza conflict.
