Yemen's Houthis attack two oil tankers in Red Sea, causing no major damage according to initial reports

ai generated text

Multiple attacks on vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden have been attributed to Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The attacks occurred on Saudi-flagged Amjad and Panama-flagged Blue Lagoon I, with the Houthis claiming responsibility for targeting the Blue Lagoon with multiple missiles and drones. The US military has described the attacks as "reckless acts of terrorism". The attacks are part of a larger campaign by the Houthis against international shipping passing through the Red Sea and Gulf, with the Houthis citing solidarity with Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza Strip.
