The Yemeni 'Youth Movement' organization (Houthi forces) stated on the 26th that, in the past 48 hours, the group attacked three Saudi Arabian oil tankers and continued to enforce a maritime blockade on vessels related to Saudi Arabia.
On the 20th, the 'Youth Movement' announced a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia, warning international shipping companies that vessels conducting trade with Saudi ports could face military strikes.
