The Houthis claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack on a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea, according to the group's own statements. No details on the vessel's identity, damage, or casualties have been confirmed.
The Houthis claimed Tuesday evening to have carried out another ballistic missile attack on a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea. The group's statement, which provides no details on the vessel's identity or the extent of damage, adds to a series of similar claims against Saudi maritime targets in recent days.
As The Zioneer reported on July 26, a security analyst cited Houthi fire on a Saudi vessel in the Red Sea. On July 24, footage emerged of a separate Houthi attack on a vessel in the same waters. The Houthis have also claimed strikes on Saudi oil infrastructure, including a July 27 attack on the Abqaiq facility, in coordination with Iraqi Shia militias. The latest claim, if confirmed, would extend a pattern of Houthi operations targeting Saudi energy assets and shipping lanes since mid-2026.
