Yemen’s Houthis said on Tuesday that they had fired ballistic missiles at a Saudi oil tanker, accusing the vessel of violating what they described as their maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea and ignoring warning calls.
The Iran-aligned group’s military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said the vessel was forced to turn back.
