Houthis Launch Missile Attacks on Saudi Oil Tankers

The Iran-aligned Houthis have launched missile attacks on Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, according to their military spokesperson Yahya Saree. The attacks targeted a tanker off the coast of Yanbu and another in the Gulf of Aden, but no confirmation has been received from Saudi Arabia.

The Houthis have imposed a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia since last month in response to what they describe as a Saudi siege on Yemen, which Riyadh has denied. The attacks are part of this ongoing conflict between the two nations.
