According to CoinMeta, Houthi militants claimed that they used a ballistic missile to attack a Saudi oil tanker, “amzan”, off the coast of Yanbu in the northern Red Sea. The attack was precise and caused the ship to catch fire; several nearby vessels also fled the area. In addition, the Houthi militants carried out two military operations: the first targeted a convoy of Saudi troops transporting military equipment, and the second targeted Saudi forces in the Al-Khainis region. This attack is part of a campaign to disrupt Saudi maritime traffic and implement a “blockade against blockade” strategy. The Houthi militants stated that they are prepared to respond to any escalation.
