The Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) claimed Tuesday evening that it had launched ballistic missiles at a Saudi vessel, according to reports circulating on Telegram. No details on the vessel's identity, damage, or casualties have been provided, and the claim has not been independently verified.
Tonight's claim follows a previous Houthi statement asserting a ballistic missile strike on a Saudi oil tanker, as The Zioneer reported earlier. The Houthis, a key Iranian proxy in the 'Axis of Resistance,' have intensified attacks on Red Sea shipping and Israeli territory in recent months. The group routinely claims strikes that are not always corroborated by independent sources.
No confirmation from Saudi or other authorities has been reported as of 20:19 Jerusalem time.
