Yemeni forces have carried out a ballistic missile attack on an Israeli-owned oil tanker in the northern Red Sea. The attack, announced on September 1, is said to be in support of Palestinians in Gaza and in response to Israel’s blockade and actions against them. Yemen’s armed forces confirmed the tanker was directly targeted and emphasized that such operations will continue until the blockade on Gaza is lifted. Earlier, a British maritime security firm reported an explosion on an Israeli-owned tanker near Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu port.
