Houthis Claim Responsibility for Missile Attacks on Saudi Oil Tankers

The Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility for missile attacks on Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. According to a statement by Yahya Saree, the Houthi's military spokesperson, the attacks took place off the coast of Yanbu, a key port city in Saudi Arabia. The Houthis have been imposing a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia since July, citing a 'Saudi siege' on Yemen.

The Houthi rebels have long been aligned with Iran and have been involved in the conflict in Yemen for several years. Their actions are seen as an escalation of tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia, which has led to a significant increase in military activity in the region.

There was no confirmation from Saudi Arabia on either incident, leaving the details of the attacks unclear.
