Houthi Ballistic Missile Strikes Saudi Oil Tanker Amzan off Yanbu

Yemen's Houthi movement struck the Saudi-flagged oil tanker Amzan with a ballistic missile roughly 63 nautical miles west of Yanbu in the northern Red Sea, starting a fire on the main deck that the crew contained without casualties or spills.

Why this matters. Long-range anti-ship strikes in the northern Red Sea extend the threat perimeter to Saudi crude loading terminals at Yanbu.
