Saudi authorities intercepted an unmanned boat rigged with explosives sent by Yemeni Houthi rebels to target an oil plant on the kingdom’s southwestern coast.
The boat, sent from a small island off the Yemeni coast, was targeting a petroleum products distribution terminal run by Saudi oil giant Aramco when it was intercepted on Tuesday, the interior ministry said in a statement carried by the SPA state news agency.
“The boat was spotted when it departed from a small island in Yemeni waters and gained speed after entering Saudi waters,” the ministry said.
