India & China-bound Saudi oil tankers take U-turn in Red Sea after Houthi threat

Two oil-laden tankers from Saudi Arabia, bound for India and China, took a U-turn in Red Sea on Tuesday after Houthis issued a warning. Houthis have warned ships against using Saudi ports and threatened action "in any location". Ships changed their direction towards the Suez Canal to avoid Red Sea's southern exit through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait near Yemeni coast.
