Yemen's Houthis say targeted Saudi tanker in Red Sea

Yemen's Houthi rebels said Tuesday that they had targeted a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea with ballistic missiles for allegedly violating a blockade on the kingdom's ports announced by the group last week.

"The targeting of the Saudi vessel came after it ignored warnings," a Houthi military spokesman said, identifying the ship as the NCC Ghazal and saying it had been "forced to turn back."
