Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis said on Monday they had attacked what they described as a Saudi military ship and four escort vessels in the Red Sea with missiles, according to a statement by the group’s military spokesperson, Yahya Saree on Telegram.

“The attack was carried out using several ballistic missiles, and the strikes were accurate and direct," the statement read.

"The operation resulted in the Saudi warship catching fire completely; several of the boats escorting it sank, while the others caught fire. The armed forces continue to establish the equation of blockade for blockade and to attack all Saudi military concentrations.” 

There was no immediate confirmation from Saudi authorities on the attack.
