Sanaa: Yemen's Houthi rebels on Sunday vowed to target American cargo ships in the Red Sea after deadly US attacks struck the country.
"The American will now be subject to the embargo as long as it continues its aggression," Huthi leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi said in a televised address on Sunday, adding that Israeli shipping was already in the rebels' sights.
The Houthi leader also called for a "million-strong" march of defiance after deadly US strikes hit the capital, Sanaa, and other areas.
