Yemen’s Houthis claim attacks on two Saudi oil tankers in Red Sea

Yemen's Ansar Allah Houthi-group says it's targeted two oil tankers in the Red Sea, saying the ships were violating its naval blockade on Saudi Arabia. The incident reportedly took place about 130 kilometers off the Saudi coast. The Saudi-owned tanker Encelia caught fire, after an unknown projectile hit its bow. Maritime officials say there are no known casualties. A second vessel, the Layla has reportedly also caught fire in the same attack.
