SANAA: Yemen’s Iran-aligned rebels seized a Saudi-flagged tug and two South Korean vessels over the weekend, the insurgents and Seoul officials said on Tuesday.
Seoul’s foreign ministry said a South Korean dredger was being towed by one Korean and one Saudi-flagged tug when they were seized by the Huthis. The Saudi-led military coalition backing Yemen’s internationally recognised government accused the rebels of “hijacking” the Rabigh-3, which a global-tracking website described as a Saudi-flagged vessel.
The Huthi rebels have been fighting the government and its allies for more than four years in a war that has pushed the country to the brink of famine.
