Yemen’s Houthi movement says it carries out missile attacks on Saudi oil tankers in two locations. In separate claims on Wednesday, the group’s military spokesperson says one attack targets a Saudi oil vessel in the Gulf of Aden. Another claim says missiles were fired at a Saudi oil tanker off the Red Sea coast near the Saudi port city of Yanbu. The statements do not provide detailed timing or information on damage or casualties. Saudi Arabia has not confirmed either incident. One report cited by UK Maritime Trade Operations states that people on a vessel near the reported area heard a “loud explosion,” supporting the existence of an incident in the Gulf of Aden, though it does not attribute responsibility. Across the reports, the Houthis frame the attacks as deliberate targeting of Saudi-linked shipping. No independent confirmation of the attacks’ outcomes is included in the available accounts.
