A single-source report indicates an oil tanker was attacked near the northern border of Yemen. No details on the method, extent of damage, or casualties have been reported.
A report published late Wednesday night describes an attack on an oil tanker near the northern border of Yemen. The source did not specify the method of attack, the identity of the vessel, or whether any damage or injuries occurred. The region has seen multiple reports of attacks on commercial vessels, primarily oil tankers, in recent weeks, as documented by The Zioneer's previous coverage. Among the incidents reported since mid-June: an attack by fast attack boats near the Gulf of Aden, an RPG attack on a tanker off Oman, and several reports of vessels being approached or fired upon near Yemen's southern coast. The current report, however, is the first to indicate an attack near Yemen's northern border, which abuts Saudi Arabia. The lack of corroborating details suggests the event is still being assessed. Further confirmation and specifics are awaited.
