Houthi rebels from the Yemen-based Ansar Allah movement have launched a missile strike on the Scarlet Ray oil tanker, which they claim belongs to Israel, in the Red Sea, the movement’s military spokesman Yahya Saria said.

"The naval units of the Yemeni Armed Forces have carried out a military operation, launching a ballistic missile at the Israeli oil tanker Scarlet Ray in the northern part of the Red Sea," Yahya Saria said.

According to him, the ship was "hit by a direct strike".
