Second Saudi oil tanker targeted in the Red Sea

The Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen announced on Wednesday that they had attacked another Saudi oil tanker, the second within a single day, as part of their continued naval blockade imposed on the kingdom.

Yahya Saree, the military spokesperson for the Houthis, said in a statement that the group had targeted the Saudi oil tanker “Daisy” in the Gulf of Aden with a ballistic missile.
