Iran War: Another Explosion on a Supertanker in the Strait of Hormuz

Saudi Arabia's military says it has intercepted two ballistic missiles from Yemen heading towards the city of Khamis Mushait. A drone from the Yemeni Huthi militia was also intercepted and destroyed near the capital Riyadh. The Huthi militia, supported by Iran, has been attacking Saudi Arabia with drones, missiles and cruise missiles, resulting in deaths and injuries.

In a separate incident, a group of Israeli settlers attacked vehicles carrying European diplomats in the West Bank, damaging a window and injuring a diplomat. Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guards reported that a supertanker had struck a mine in the Strait of Hormuz, causing a major explosion.
