[Houthi Forces Claim Attack on Two Saudi Oil Tankers, Warn of Larger-Scale Strikes Inside Saudi Arabia] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on July 23, Yemen's Houthi forces issued a statement claiming responsibility for a military strike on two Saudi oil tankers. The attack was described as a response to what they referred to as Saudi Arabia's blockade of Yemen and part of their principle of 'responding to blockade with blockade.' The statement identified the targeted vessels as 'ENCELIA' and 'LAYLA,' alleging that they violated the Red Sea shipping ban previously announced by the Houthis. The group stated that ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones were used in the attack, which reportedly caused both tankers to catch fire. The statement also claimed that the Houthis forced approximately 10 other vessels to turn back. It further declared that the group would continue maritime military operations against Saudi Arabia and persist with the so-called 'responding to blockade with blockade' measures. Additionally, the Houthis warned that if Saudi Arabia launches new military actions against Yemen, they would carry out larger-scale strikes on targets within Saudi territory. (CCTV)
