Yemen's Houthi rebels struck two oil tankers in the Red Sea, targeting vessels they believe support Israel. The Panama-flagged Blue Lagoon I and the Saudi-flagged Amjad were hit, but damage was minimal.

These attacks disrupt maritime trade amid the escalating violence of the Israel-Hamas conflict. The Houthis intensify their campaign, threatening both global commerce and regional stability. The repercussions extend beyond the immediate damage, reflecting the larger geopolitical tensions at play.

As the world watches, the struggle deepens between the "far right" and "progressive" factions, shaping the future of the region and its impact on international waters.
