DUBAI: The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted and destroyed an explosives-laden boat launched from Yemen by the Iran-aligned Houthi group on Thursday, an incident that could further increase regional tensions after a weekend attack on Saudi oil installations.

The Houthis, who have threatened to widen attacks on Saudi Arabia, have in the past targeted vessels off Yemen, which lies on one side of the Bab al-Mandeb strait at the southern mouth of the Red Sea, one of the world’s most vital oil tanker routes. Riyadh responded by temporarily suspending oil shipments through the strait, which the Houthis have in the past threatened to block.

The incident comes as the United States and Saudi Arabia consider responses to Saturday’s assault on Saudi oil facilities, which Washington and Riyadh blame on common foe Iran.The Western-backed, Sunni Muslim coalition intervened in Yemen in March 2015 against the Houthis after they ousted the internationally recognised government in Sanaa in late 2014.
