Chinese Tankers Cross Red Sea Despite Houthi Threats

Two Chinese supertankers carrying Saudi oil are heading toward the Bab el-Mandeb strait to exit the Red Sea, despite threats from Houthi attacks. The Houthis recently attacked two Saudi tankers in the Red Sea, causing oil prices to jump. Asian oil buyers are in talks to reroute Saudi Red Sea flows. The tankers are pushing through the chokepoint even as the attacks continue.
