Houthi Rebels Target Saudi Oil Tankers in Red Sea
Yemeni Houthi rebels have targeted multiple Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea since July 22, with eight tankers hit and 29 forced to retreat. The attacks, using ballistic missiles, are part of a 'blockade for blockade' strategy, aiming to close all access points and prevent Saudi tankers' passage. The Houthis have intensified operations in the northern Red Sea after Saudi Arabia rerouted its oil tankers to avoid the Bab al-Mandab strait.19 sourcesSee all sources
