> Yemen’s Ansarullah Houthi group says it attacked a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea. The group claims the vessel, identified as Wafa, was targeted with several ballistic missiles off the coast of Yanbu. The Houthis had announced a naval blockade of Saudi shipping in the Red Sea last month after an attack on Sanaa Airport. Al Jazeera correspondent Yousef Mawry reports live from Yemen’s capital, Sanaa.
