Fresh attacks have targeted Saudi Arabia and commercial vessels operating in the Strait of Hormuz. Saudi state media reported damage to homes and a mosque in the Jazan province following a Houthi attack on Sunday, September 13, 2026.
Simultaneously, a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz was struck by a projectile, forcing its crew to evacuate, as reported by the British maritime security agency UKMTO.
These incidents directly threaten the security of oil transportation in one of the world's most vital maritime choke points, through which nearly a fifth of the world's oil and gas flows.
