Houthi forces claim new ballistic missile attacks on Saudi oil tankers in Gulf of Aden
First report 7h agoLast update 1h agoHouthi forces assert they successfully targeted Saudi oil tankers with ballistic missiles in the Gulf of Aden as part of a blockade.
Analysts suggest that the attacks are part of a new maritime equation and that external actors like the US and Israel are fueling tensions between Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
Yemen's foreign minister and the UN envoy are discussing Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, with some suggesting the focus on Houthi actions downplays underlying Israeli actions.
