Houthis Escalate Red Sea Campaign, Claim Eighth Saudi Tanker Attack

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree claimed the group struck the Saudi tanker Wafa in the northern Red Sea off Yanbu with "a number of ballistic missiles," calling it the eighth Saudi oil tanker targeted since the campaign began in late July. The group also asserted that 29 Saudi tankers have been forced to turn back in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, figures that could not be independently verified. Separately, UKMTO reported a loud explosion near a tanker 95 nautical miles southeast of Aden; all crew were safe. UKMTO also confirmed the Indian vessel Faize Noore Oliya was sunk by an uncrewed surface vessel 9 nautical miles southwest of Al Mukha on Monday, with all 14 crew rescued.
