▲ Location of the oil tanker attacked off the coast of Saudi Arabia
An oil tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile in the waters northeast of Jubail, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) announced on the 17th local time.
The UKMTO added that all crew members have been evacuated and are safe, and no environmental damage has been reported.
The perpetrator behind the attack on the vessel has not yet been identified.
However, Yemen's pro-Iran Houthi rebels have recently taken control of areas along the Red Sea coast and threatened Saudi Arabia's oil export routes.
