Yemen's Tehran-backed Houthis have claimed on Thursday a missile and drone attack on two Saudi oil tankers transiting through the Red Sea.
The Iran-backed group wrote on Telegram that it "carried out a qualitative military operation targeting two Saudi oil tankers that violated the blockade", naming the vessels as the Encelia and the Layla.
Earlier, the British naval security monitor UKMTO reported that a projectile struck a tanker in the Red Sea off Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.
