Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said Tuesday that the Yemeni militant group launched several ballistic missiles at a Saudi oil tanker. According to the statement, the missiles struck the vessel.
The claim centers on an attack involving a Saudi-owned tanker, adding to concerns about threats to commercial and energy-linked shipping tied to the Yemen conflict. The available report attributes the announcement directly to Saree and the Houthis.
No additional details were provided in the trimmed report about the tanker's condition, the exact location of the strike, or whether there were casualties. The report also did not include independent confirmation of the Houthis' account.
The incident, as described by the group, points to continuing regional tension involving Saudi interests and Houthi military actions. More information would be needed to clarify the scale and impact of the reported missile strike.
