Houthi rebels claim attacks on Saudi oil tankers in Red Sea
Yemen's Houthi movement claimed responsibility for new attacks on two Saudi-linked oil tankers transiting the Red Sea on Wednesday. The group asserted the strikes are part of a blockade against shipping to Saudi Arabia in retaliation for regional military actions. While the full extent of the damage is unconfirmed, the claims have spiked maritime insurance rates and prompted several international shipping firms to reroute vessels away from the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
