Two oil tankers attacked in Red Sea

Two oil tankers, the Saudi-flagged Amjad and Panama-flagged Blue Lagoon I, were attacked on Monday in the Red Sea off Yemen, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Late on Monday, the Houthis claimed responsibility for targeting the Blue Lagoon with multiple missiles and drones, but did not make any mention of the Saudi tanker.

The sources said the ships were sailing near each other when they were hit but were able to continue their journeys with no major damage assessed or any casualties.
