Minister of Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources of Saudi Arabia Khalid A. Al-Falih said on Thursday the kingdom would halt all oil shipments through the strait immediately.
The suspension will last "until the situation becomes clearer and maritime transit through Bab al-Mandeb is safe", al-Falih said in a statement.
He claimed that Yemeni forces targeted Saudi tankers in the Red Sea, causing damages.
