Houthis claim strikes on two Saudi oil tankers in Red Sea

Описание: “The Yemeni armed forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting two Saudi oil tankers.”

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said that they targeted two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea with missiles and drones, claiming the vessels had violated a ban imposed by the group. 

Saree identified the two tankers as “Encelia” and “Layla”.

Saree also threatened further attacks against Saudi Arabia, saying the Houthis would continue their naval operations and enforce what they described as a "blockade for blockade" policy.

Meanwhile, the Saudi state news agency SPA reported, citing an official source from the General Transport Authority, that the "Encelia" was targeted, resulting in a fire breaking out at the front of the ship.
