Yemen’s Houthi rebels say they have attacked a Saudi oil tanker. The attack happened in the Red Sea, a very busy waterway used by ships to move goods and oil around the world.
Several major news outlets, including Reuters and Bloomberg, confirmed the reports. The Houthis, a group currently fighting in Yemen, have claimed responsibility for the strike. The attack targeted a large ship near the Saudi city of Yanbu.
This is the latest event in a series of escalations in the region. People are worried that these kinds of attacks could pull Yemen deeper into the larger conflicts happening across the Middle East. If the fighting keeps spreading, it could make the region much more dangerous for everyone.
There is no word yet on how much damage the ship took or if anyone on board was hurt. We will keep you updated as we learn more.
