RIYADH: The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen destroyed two explosive-laden Houthi boats on Wednesday, Saudi Press Agency reported.

The coalition said that the militia was planning to use the boats in attacks on oil tankers crossing the Bab Al-Mandab Strait.

The attempt to launch the two boats was prepared from Yemen's Hodeidah governorate and the Houthi militia is escalating its hostile attacks to target energy sources, the coalition added.
