London also blamed the attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea on people subject to restrictions . From now on, they will be banned from entering the UK and their accounts in the country will be frozen. The document also provides for a ban on the transfer of weapons to persons associated with the Houthis.

At the end of 2023, representatives of the Yemeni movement announced their intention to attack ships associated with Israel in response to its operation in the Gaza Strip. However, commercial ships were attacked, as a result of which many companies were forced to suspend shipping through the Red Sea. In response to this, on the night of January 12, the United States and Great Britain, with the support of the international coalition, launched the first strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen.
