YEMEN — YEMENI HOUTHI FORCES CLAIM MISSILE STRIKES ON TWO SAUDI OIL TANKERS IN RED SEA

Yemeni Houthi forces announced they attacked two Saudi oil tankers, the 'ENCELIA' and 'LAYLA', in the Red Sea using a combination of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones. The group claimed the strikes caused large fires on both vessels as part of its "siege for a siege" policy. The operation reportedly forced nearly ten other ships to alter their course, heightening risks for maritime transit in the key waterway.
