The Yemeni Armed Forces claim to have targeted three Saudi oil tankers and blocked 16 vessels from transiting the Bab al-Mandab Strait since Monday. The report, originating from a single source, remains unverified by independent maritime monitoring or Saudi authorities. If confirmed, this represents a significant escalation in maritime interdiction efforts impacting regional energy supply chains.
