Six Saudi-flagged supertankers have altered their course in the Gulf of Aden, opting to head to southern Africa instead. This decision comes in response to threats made by Yemen's Houthi movement to target Saudi shipping.
According to ship-tracking data, the supertankers changed course in recent days, likely seeking to avoid potential risks in the region. The move highlights the ongoing tensions between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi movement, which has been known to target oil tankers and other vessels in the area.
