Yemen's Houthis say they attacked ship off Saudi Arabia's Yanbu

The tanker crew was reported safe after a projectile hit the vessel and set it ablaze, maritime agencies said.

  • Yemen's Houthis claimed they hit a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea with a ballistic missile as part of their maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia.
  • The attack occurred 63 nautical miles west of Yanbu, off Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, where the tanker caught fire but all crew were safe and there was no environmental impact, according to British maritime authorities.
  • The Houthis declared a maritime blockade last month and have since attacked Saudi tankers and infrastructure amid ongoing conflict that escalated following renewed fighting in July.
