Houthi Group Targets Saudi Oil Tanker in Red Sea

The Houthi group in Yemen has claimed responsibility for targeting a Saudi oil tanker with ballistic missiles in the Red Sea. According to the group, the vessel, NCC Ghazal, was forced to turn back after violating their maritime embargo on Saudi-linked shipping.

Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea stated that the operation targeted the tanker, which had ignored warning calls and breached the embargo.

The Houthi group has been enforcing a maritime blockade on Saudi-linked shipping under what they call the principle of 'blockade for blockade.'
