Yemen's Houthis say attacked Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea

Yemen's Houthis stated on Wednesday that they launched a ballistic missile strike against the Saudi oil tanker Wafa off the Red Sea port city of Yanbu.

Houthi military spokesperson claimed the attack was part of an ongoing maritime blockade which is part of a self-declared Houthi maritime embargo against Saudi shipping lanes. The group claims nearly 30 Saudi-linked tankers have been forced to turn back or alter their routes.
