Saudi Arabia's military claims to have intercepted two ballistic missiles fired from Yemen towards the city of Chamis Muschait in the southwest of the country. Additionally, a drone belonging to the Huthi militia of Yemen was intercepted and destroyed near the capital Riyadh, according to the spokesman of the military alliance led by Saudi Arabia, Turki al-Maliki.
The Huthi militia has recently launched attacks on targets in neighboring Saudi Arabia using drones, missiles, and guided bombs, resulting in casualties and injuries, including at Riyadh's airport. Oil facilities have also been targeted. Saudi Arabia, which is allied with the internationally recognized government in Yemen, attacks Huthi targets.
The militia controls areas in the north and west of Yemen and is supported by Iran. An Israeli settler group allegedly attacked European diplomats' vehicles in the West Bank, according to Israeli army radio. Seven masked men in their Land Rovers confronted a diplomat's vehicle, demanded identification, and damaged a window. Video footage shows a diplomat lying on the ground.
The incident occurred during the olive harvest near the town of Taibe. The Israeli army has not issued a statement on the matter yet. Iran's Revolutionary Guards reported yet another incident involving a supertanker running aground on a sea mine in the Strait of Hormuz. A "massive explosion in the engine room" occurred, leaving the ship stranded, according to a statement from the powerful military organization.
The ship subsequently came to a halt. Earlier in the night, the Revolutionary Guards reported a similar incident. Initially, it was unclear where the incident had occurred precisely. The UK Maritime and Trade Office reported two attacks on tankers hundreds of kilometers away from the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf near the Saudi Arabian coast, but these had already taken place on Friday.
