Yemen's Houthis on Mondaytargeted the Saudi oil tanker Amzan in the Red Seaoff Yanbu with a ballistic missile and drones, the Iran-aligned militant group announced.
Soon after initial reports emerged,Saudi Arabia confirmed the attack, with Saudi shipping company Bahri stating that its Amzan vessel was involved in a hostile incident in regional waters.
Yahya Saree, the military spokesman for the Houthi rebels in Yemen, described that the attacks were carried out using ballistic missiles and drones and were executed as part of the implementation of the'siege for siege' operationtargeting the Saudis.
The Houthis are also claiming fresh attacks on Saudi military convoys carrying military equipment to Yemeni government forces.
This is after pledging to hit Saudi troop concentrations and weapons depots anywhere they are found in the region.
Details are asfollows: In another development, the Yemeni Armed Forces, by the grace of Allah, successfully carried out two military operations of which the first targeted a Saudi military convoy, consisting of a large convoy loaded with military equipment, in the Al-Abr and Al-Wadi'ah areas using ballistic missiles and drones, resulting in the burning and destruction of more than ten trucks loaded with weapons that were coming from Saudi territory to target the Yemeni people.
The second operation targeted Saudi enemy forces in the Al-Kanais area with ballistic missiles and drones, which resulted in the death and injury of dozens, including commanders and officers, and the burning and destruction of several weapons depots.
Starting last week, the Houthis laid out three objectives they seek to impose onthe Saudis: Already, Aramco facilities have been targeted at least four times over the past weeks, since the Saudi-Houthi conflict erupted again.
Iran has of late been much more open in boasting that its Yemeni ally is doing damage on US allies in the region.
For example, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesman Brig.
Hossein Mohebbi recently told the semiofficialMehr News Agencythis week thatthe kingdom cannot defeat the group.
