India Investigates Yacht Incident Near Yemen Amid Houthis' Saudi Attack Claim
Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed Saudi Arabia targeted a yacht carrying 14 Indian nationals near Zuqar Island in the Red Sea, prompting a rescue operation by Houthi forces. The Indian Embassy in Yemen is investigating the incident amid escalating regional tensions and has pledged assistance to ensure the safety of those aboard. The claims remain unverified by independent sources or Saudi authorities. The incident follows recent attacks on Saudi infrastructure, including one that killed an Indian national at Dammam Airport.
