Houthis Claim Responsibility for Oil Vessel Strike in Gulf of Aden

Yemen's Houthi group claimed responsibility for targeting a Saudi oil vessel in the Gulf of Aden on Wednesday, according to their military spokesperson. The strike comes after a report from UK Maritime Trade Operations that people on another vessel heard a 'loud explosion' near it in the same area.

The date and time of the alleged attack was not specified in the Houthi's statement, but it occurred on August 5th at 19:28 BST. Saudi Arabia has yet to confirm the strike or provide any further information about the incident.
