Houthis Claim Responsibility for Deadly Strikes on Saudi Oil Tankers in the Red Sea

Tensions in the Middle East have intensified after Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed they carried out missile strikes targeting two Saudi oil tankers — one reportedly near the Red Sea port of Yanbu and another in the Gulf of Aden. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree announced responsibility for the attacks, although Saudi authorities have not yet verified the claims. The Houthis said the strikes were part of their naval blockade against Saudi-linked vessels in the Red Sea, which they described as a response to what they allege is a Saudi blockade of Yemen. Saudi Arabia has dismissed those allegations. The reported attacks have raised fresh concerns about the safety of key shipping routes, potential disruptions to global energy markets, and the broader security situation in the region.
