Houthis Claim Missile Strike on Saudi Oil Tanker Near Yanbu

Yemen's Houthis claimed a missile strike on a Saudi oil tanker off Yanbu on August 5, 2026, part of a campaign launched in late July alongside a blockade on Saudi shipping. Saudi Arabia confirmed only one prior claimed strike. Riyadh is now forming a coalition to deter Red Sea attacks, and oil prices rebounded on the news.
