Houthi Rebels Attack Saudi Oil Tankers in Red Sea and Gulf of Aden
Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for attacking Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Concurrently, reports indicate an Indian cargo ship was sunk off the Yemeni coast, though the crew was rescued. These attacks mark a resurgence of Houthi maritime operations following a period of relative calm, targeting international shipping lanes and energy infrastructure in the region as part of the broader Iranian-backed regional strategy.
