Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile early Saturday, targeting an oil tanker in the Red Sea. The Panama-flagged, Greek-owned vessel sustained damage in the attack, which is believed to be linked to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
While the Houthis have not officially claimed responsibility for the assault, recent incidents include the downing of a U.S. military MQ-9 Reaper drone over Yemen. These attacks have also disrupted shipping in the region, affecting the crucial maritime route leading to the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea.
