Yemen's Huthis targeted the Blue Lagoon in the Red Sea

The U.S. military said Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacked two crude oil tankers included the Saudi-flagged Amjad and the Panama-flagged Blue Lagoon-I in the Red Sea on Monday.

The Houthis late on Monday claimed responsibility for targeting the Blue Lagoon with multiple missiles and drones but did not make any mention of the Saudi tanker. The U.S. Central Command said the Houthis attacked the two tankers with two ballistic missiles and a one-way attack un-crewed aerial system, hitting both vessels.
