Airstrikes targeted two districts in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, the Iran-backed Houthi rebels reported Monday, blaming Saudi Arabia for the airstrikes that occurred around midnight. Saudi Arabia did not immediately respond to the claim.
India's Foreign Ministry said two Indian nationals were missing after a drone struck a commercial tanker around the Strait of Hormuz.
The ministry said on Monday the two were among 11 Indian sailors aboard the MT PETRO DOLPHIN when it was hit by a drone on Sunday.
Yemen’s Houthis reported airstrikes on Sanaa's Hamdan and Thourah districts as the conflict between the Iranian-backed rebels and Saudi Arabia continues to escalate.
The rebels’ media center said the strikes occurred at midnight on Monday, without providing further details.
The center blamed Saudi Arabia for the strikes, which came as the Houthis continued to fire missiles and drones toward the kingdom’s airports.
There was no immediate comment from Saudi Arabia.
