# Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis struck two Saudi Arabian oil tankers in the Red Sea, days after announcing a naval blockade on Saudi vessels. The attacks were carried out using several ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree says they will continue their naval operations against Saudi Arabia and persist in enforcing “a siege for a siege’ equation. Saudi Arabia’s Transport General Authority says these attacks constitute a violation of international law and conventions that guarantee the safety of commercial vessels and their crews.
