4:50Now PlayingYemen's Houthi rebel group has said it has attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea.
The ENCELIA and LAYLA tankers were targeted after they violated the naval blockade in place in the sea, a spokesperson for the Iranian-aligned group said in comments shared by Iran's IRIB news agency.
The UK Maritime Trade Operations Centre said it had received a report of an incident 70 nautical miles southwest of the Saudi Arabian coastal city of Al Shuqaiq.
A tanker caught fire after "being struck by an unknown projectile", but no casualties have been reported, UKMTO said.
