...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i Armed Forces announced on Monday that they carried out military operations targeting a Saudi oil tanker in the northern Red Sea off the coast of Yanbu, alongside strikes on Saudi military buildups in ’al-Abr’, ’al-Wadeah’, and ’al-Kanayes’.
In a statement delivered by military front man Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e, the Yemeni Armed Forces said they targeted the oil tanker ’Amzan’ with a ballistic missile, confirming a direct hit that sparked a fire onboard, while other vessels in the vicinity departed the area.
The statement indicated the operation is part of an ongoing maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia
 ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors.

The statement added that two separate operations utilizing ballistic missiles and drones targeted Saudi military concentrations in al-Abr, al-Wadeah, and al-Kanayes. The strikes destroyed over ten trucks carrying weapons arriving from Saudi territory, destroyed several weapons depots, and resulted in dozens of casualties, including military commanders and officers.
The Yemeni Armed Forces reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining the declared maritime embargo on Saudi Arabia, reciprocating escalation with broader operations.
The Ansarullah movement, better known as Houthis, said Monday that it struck Saudi military personnel and military facilities, adding that it targeted a Saudi oil tanker named "Amzan" in the Red Sea with a ballistic missile amid ongoing hostilities.
A drone and missile attack on “Saudi troop gatherings” northeast of Yemen have “resulted in dozens of casualties, including officers and commanders, and the destruction and burning of several weapons depots,” Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said in a post on X.
“A large Saudi military convoy loaded with military equipment” in central-eastern Yemen were targeted with “a number of ballistic missiles and drones," he said, claiming that “the attack resulted in the burning and destruction of more than ten weapons trucks entering from Saudi territory to target the Yemeni people.”
Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi terror group says it attacked a vessel off Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu, according to the group’s military spokesperson Yahya Saree on Telegram.
Saudi Arabia has confirmed that one of its ships has been attacked.
