Houthi Forces Escalate Maritime Attacks with Ballistic Missile Strike on Saudi Oil Tanker
In a significant escalation of regional tensions, the Yemen-based Houthi rebels announced a successful strike on the Saudi Arabian oil tanker 'Wafa' in the Red Sea. Using multiple ballistic missiles, the attack took place near the port of Yanbu, marking the eighth vessel targeted since the Houthis declared a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia last month. While the Houthi spokesperson confirmed the operation, Saudi authorities have remained silent. The incident underscores the growing instability in critical global shipping lanes and the intensifying conflict between the Houthi movement and the Saudi-led coalition.
