The Saudi government said it has suspended oil shipments through the Red Sea after Yemen-based, Iran-aligned Houthi rebels attacked Saudi oil tankers.
Two very large crude carriers, which can each carry 2 million barrels of oil, operated by the Saudi National Shipping Company “were attacked by terrorist Houthi militia this morning in the Red Sea. One of the ships sustained minimal damage,” according to a statement posted by Saudi Aramco on Wednesday. “No injuries nor oil spill have been reported.”
