Houthis Claim Missile Attack on Saudi's Jizan Amid Escalating Tensions

Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed to have launched a missile attack on Saudi Arabia's Jizan province, according to reports. The attack comes amid escalating tensions in the region, with the US military also taking action against a tanker trying to evade an Iran port blockade. The US military has 'disabled' the tanker, which was attempting to reach Iran despite the blockade. The move is seen as a further escalation of tensions between the US and Iran. The Houthi rebels have been involved in a long-running conflict with the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, and have been accused of launching several attacks on Saudi territory in recent months.
