Houthis Claim Missile Attack on Saudi Oil Tanker in Red Sea

On July 28, 2026, Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed they fired ballistic missiles at a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea. The attack is part of ongoing tensions in the region, and has led to some tankers diverting to Egypt as the threat disrupts Red Sea trade. The Houthis have not provided evidence of the strike, and there is no immediate confirmation from Saudi authorities. This incident highlights the continued risk to maritime shipping in the area.
