Yemeni Coastguard forces have blocked the smuggling of explosives-making materials into the Red Sea waters en route to the Iranian-backed Houthi rebel militia.

The Yemeni Coast Guard has seized a consignment of 100 tons of fertilizer containing 46% urea, which is used in the manufacture of explosives.

The cargo was seized aboard a medium sea boat, sailing in the waters of the Red Sea.
