Yemen's Houthi rebels said on Sept. 23 that despite ongoing fighting near the strategic Bab al‑Mandeb strait linking the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, 408 commercial vessels transited the waterway between Sept. 11-21, according to Houthi-controlled Masirah TV citing a group statement. Of those, 196 sailed north into the Red Sea and 212 south into the Gulf of Aden; the tally included container ships. The report added that "except for Saudi vessels, international shipping continues normally and safely." The figure exceeded the 393 transits recorded Sept. 1-10, when 199 moved north and 194 moved south.
