The Houthi group said Monday that it had carried out three operations targeting a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea and Saudi troop concentrations in eastern Yemen, Anadolu reports.
In a statement, the group said it had struck a Saudi oil tanker — the Amzan — with a ballistic missile in the northern Red Sea off the coast of Yanbu in western Saudi Arabia.
A “direct” hit had caused a fire aboard the vessel, the group said, adding that several other ships had left the vicinity in the wake of the attack.
The group also said it had conducted two other operations against Saudi troop concentrations in eastern Yemen using ballistic missiles and drones.
The first, it said, had targeted a large convoy carrying military equipment in the Al-Abr and Al-Wadiah areas of Yemen’s eastern Hadramout province near the Saudi border.
