Houthis Fire Ballistic Missiles at Saudi Oil Tanker in Red Sea

Yemen's Houthi rebels claim to have fired ballistic missiles at a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea, accusing it of violating their maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia. The Iran-aligned group says the vessel ignored warning calls and was forced to turn back.

The incident occurred on Tuesday, according to Yahya Saree, the Houthi military spokesperson. He stated that the vessel had been warned multiple times before being targeted with ballistic missiles.

While details of the attack are still emerging, the incident highlights ongoing tensions between Yemen's warring factions and their allies in the region.
