Yemen's Houthi movement has claimed that it attacked a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
The Houthis' statement did not specify the exact time or method of the attack, but they confirmed striking a vessel in the Red Sea. This could lead to increased tensions in the region.
According to Reuters, the information about the attack has not been fully confirmed yet, but the Houthis' claim is drawing international attention. There has been no official comment from Saudi Arabia so far.
The Red Sea is one of the world's most important oil transport routes, so such attacks could affect global oil prices. The Houthis have previously attacked ships in the region, causing concern among the international community.
This incident highlights the ongoing war in Yemen and regional geopolitical instability. The Houthis continue military actions against the Saudi-led coalition.
