ALBAWABA- Houthis' military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, announced that the Houthi armed group, Ansar Allah, carried out two operations using boats, drones, and ballistic missiles against two ships in the Red Sea. 

In his statement, Saree specified that the Houthi-run Yemeni Armed Forces targeted the oil ships "BENTLEY I" and "CHIOS Lion" in the Red Sea.
