Houthi forces claim missile strikes on Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, with two vessels reported hit and warnings issued to additional ships. Oil prices rose for a fifth day with Brent crude exceeding $100, while US Central Command conducted air strikes on Iranian coastal facilities. The 2022 ceasefire between Houthis and Saudi Arabia has ended, though the reported closure of the Strait of Hormuz conflicts with the Red Sea location of reported incidents.
