US sanctions against Houthis come into force

US "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" sanctions against Houthis for their attacks targeting Israel-linked commercial vessels in the Red Sea came into effect on Friday, the US Department of the Treasury said in a statement.

In January, Washington said it was returning the Houthis to the global list of terrorist groups in response to the militia group's attacks on commercial shipping.
