Two tankers came under attack near the Strait of Hormuz as tensions in the Gulf region continue to escalate, according to Deutsche Welle Arabic. The party responsible for the attack has not yet been identified, and the incident coincided with other military developments in the region.
In a related development, the Saudi-led military coalition announced it had intercepted and destroyed three ballistic missiles fired by Yemen's Houthi group, while a projectile struck a school. The extent of the damage or any casualties from the projectile impact was not immediately clear.
Officials said Riyadh is preparing to launch a large-scale military operation against the Iran-backed Houthi group, amid an escalating pace of missile and maritime attacks that Saudi authorities attribute to the group. The Saudi government has not yet issued a detailed official statement regarding the timing or scope of any potential operation.
These developments come at a time of longstanding and mounting tension in the Gulf, as the Houthis continue to target vessels and facilities they claim are linked to parties in the regional conflict. The details of the attack on the two tankers and the identity of the perpetrators could not be independently verified.
No official comment from the Houthi group has yet been received regarding the Saudi allegations of missile interceptions, while several international parties are closely monitoring the situation in the region.
