Explosions reported near tanker off Yemen after Houthis claim Aramco strike

In an October 5 brief, Shorts91 reports that UK Maritime Trade Operations said a tanker crew saw multiple explosions about 60 nautical miles south of Yemen’s Mocha. The crew was safe, with no environmental impact reported. The incident followed a Houthi claim that the group had targeted a Saudi Aramco facility in Riyadh with missiles and drones. Shorts91 says two other tankers were reportedly struck over the weekend.
