The Houthis launched a missile strike on the Saudi tanker NCC Ghazal

Yemeni Houthis from the "Ansar Allah" movement attacked the Saudi Arabia-owned oil tanker NCC Ghazal with ballistic missiles.

This was reported by the rebels' military spokesperson Yahya Sarea on his Telegram channel.

"The Yemeni Armed Forces (Houthis - ed.) conducted a military operation in which they attacked the Saudi oil tanker NCC Ghazal with several ballistic missiles for violating the maritime navigation ban and ignoring warnings," he wrote.

According to the movement's spokesperson, the vessel was forced to change course as a result of the missile strike. Sarea also emphasized that the Houthis will continue to enforce the naval blockade of Saudi Arabia based on the principle of "siege for siege and comprehensive escalation in response to comprehensive escalation."
