Houthis Target Saudi Oil Tanker in Northern Red Sea

A recent video circulating on social media appears to show Houthi ballistic missiles targeting the Saudi oil tanker Wafa in the northern Red Sea, off the coast of Yanbu.

The incident allegedly took place in August 2024, marking what could be the eighth Saudi tanker targeted by the Iran-backed Houthis since July 22.

This attack signals a significant expansion of Houthi operations into the northern Red Sea, with 29 tankers reportedly diverted from their original routes since July 22.
