The Houthis issued a statement on August 24 saying they had attacked the Saudi tanker “Anzan”. The statement said that the target was located in the northern part of the Red Sea, near Saudi Arabia's Yanbu coast. The Houthis used ballistic missiles to strike and hit the target, causing a fire on the ship, and other nearby ships fled the attack area. The statement said that this operation is a hostile act against Saudi Arabia and is a course of action to “respond to the blockade with a blockade.” The statement also said that the Houthis in Yemen also carried out two more military operations. One of them used ballistic missiles and drones to attack a Saudi military assembly site in the Wadiah region. The targets included a large convoy carrying military equipment, and it was claimed that more than 10 trucks loaded with weapons were burned or destroyed. Another operation targeted a Saudi military build-up point in the Kanas region. The Houthis claimed that missile and drone attacks caused dozens of deaths and injuries, including commanders and military officers, and destroyed and burnt down several weapons depots.
