Yemen's Houthis attacked the Saudi oil tanker Amzan in the Red Sea off Yanbu on Monday using a ballistic missile and drones, the Iran-aligned group announced. Saudi Arabia confirmed the incident. The Houthis described the strike as part of a "siege for siege" operation against Saudi shipping. They also claimed fresh attacks on Saudi military convoys and troop concentrations, reporting destroyed vehicles and casualties. The escalation follows renewed Saudi-Houthi conflict, with Aramco facilities targeted at least four times recently. Iran-backed officials have publicly dismissed Saudi Arabia's ability to defeat the group, while shipping traffic in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait remains disrupted.
