Houthi Claims Attack on Saudi Oil Tankers
The Yemeni Houthi group announced that they targeted two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea with ballistic missiles and drones, causing fires on both vessels. The group stated that the operation was in response to Saudi Arabia's violation of the maritime blockade in the strait. It came after they targeted several ships, forcing about ten vessels to retreat. There was no immediate comment from Saudi Arabia, which confirmed that it would take necessary measures to protect its ships, while the leadership of the Saudi-led coalition supporting legitimacy in Yemen announced the initiation of procedures to safeguard ships passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
