Attack targets Saudi oil tanker off the coast of Yanbu
The Houthi movement in Yemen claimed responsibility on Wednesday for a missile attack targeting a Saudi oil tanker that was sailing near the coast of the city of Yanbu in Saudi Arabia.
This incident has raised concerns regarding the security of maritime navigation in the Red Sea, as this region is a vital corridor for oil transport and global trade. Saudi authorities are currently working to assess the situation and ensure the safety of waterways in the region.
These developments come amid ongoing tensions in the region, as attempts to target oil facilities and fuel tankers have recurred recently. The Kingdom consistently emphasizes the importance of protecting global energy security and the stability of oil supplies to international markets.
Competent authorities in the Kingdom are following up on investigations related to the attack, while taking all necessary measures to strengthen security protection in Saudi territorial waters to ensure that such incidents do not recur.
