Houthis Claim Attack on Saudi Oil Tanker in Red Sea

Yemen’s Houthi movement has claimed responsibility for an attack on a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea, according to the group’s statement.

The Houthis said the attack was part of their ongoing military operations, though there was no immediate confirmation from Saudi authorities regarding the claim or the extent of any damage.

The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the Red Sea, a key maritime route for global trade and energy shipments.

International shipping and regional security remain under close watch as concerns over maritime safety continue to grow.

World leaders have urged restraint and renewed diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation in the region.

Analysts say continued attacks on commercial shipping could increase risks to global trade and regional stability.
