Houthis Strike Again: Tanker Hit Off Yanbu Port

Saudi Arabia's main Red Sea oil port, Yanbu, has been targeted by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis in a maritime attack. The group's military spokesperson Yahya Saree confirmed the incident in a televised speech on Monday.

The attack occurred off the coast of Yanbu, where millions of barrels a day are loaded onto ships. Saudi national shipping company Bahri reported that one of its vessels, the Amzan, was involved in a maritime incident in the Red Sea earlier in the day. All crew members were safe and no injuries had been reported.

The UK Maritime Trade Operations agency said a tanker had been struck by an unknown projectile 63 nautical miles west of Yanbu. The agency confirmed that all crew were safe and accounted for with no reported environmental impact.
