Unmanned boat stuffed with explosives attacked Saudi Port Yanbu in the Red Sea. This is reported by Associated Press.
The authorities of Saudi Arabia stated that they managed to intercept and destroy the drone boat. Eyewitnesses report black smoke club, which was visible from the shore. Who stood at the attack, not reported, but the Agency notes that before that, Saudi Arabia was repeatedly attacked by the combat wing of the Husites (the Shiite movement “Ansar Allah”).
At the end of March, it became known that a fire began on the oil terminal in Saudi Arabia after hitting the drone explosive. The Ministry of Energy of the country reported that the projectile got into one of the terminal oil in the port city of Jizan. As a result of the incident, no one was killed. The attack accused Yemen’s rebels-khusits.
The attack occurred a day after Saudi Arabia proposed the decision of the war in Yemen, which became one of the most protracted military conflicts in the Middle East. The plan provides that along the existing delimitation lines between the parties to the conflict – the Husits and the Central authorities – will be announced by a truce under the UN strict observation, while US and Oman will be intermediaries. In addition, Er-Riyada guarantees salaries to all civil servants Yemen and offers to “fairly allocate budget money” received from the export of Yemen oil.
