Official reports confirmed developments regarding yemen’s houthi rebels attack two saudi oil tankers in the red sea on Thursday in New Delhi. Militants launched strikes against commercial vessels marking the first major attack since a Saudi-linked shipping blockade via Bab el-Mandeb.
Maritime security centers reported anti-ship missile and drone strikes targeting commercial oil tankers near the Bab el-Mandeb strait. The strikes mark a renewed surge in maritime security risks along key global energy transit routes.
International shipping conglomerates responded by re-routing merchant vessels around the Cape of Good Hope, leading to extended maritime transit durations and increased global freight shipping costs.
