The Iran-backed Houthi group has fired on two oil tankers in the Red Sea, escalating tensions in the region.

The Houthis have not commented on the specific targets, but the group has previously claimed responsibility for attacks on Saudi vessels. No casualties have been reported from the latest incident.
