Yemen's Houthi movement has resumed direct attacks on commercial shipping, claiming responsibility for strikes on two Saudi oil tankers just minutes after the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported a heightened threat to shipping in the Red Sea.
The reported strikes, which occurred on Saudi vessels in the Red Sea, have raised concerns about the safety of maritime trade in the region. The Houthi movement has been known to target commercial shipping in the past, and the recent attacks may indicate a renewed escalation of tensions in the area.
