The port was reportedly targeted by an explosive-laden boat, a Saudi defence ministry statement said.
Saudi Arabia says it intercepted an explosive-laden boat off the Red Sea port of Yanbu after maritime security firms cited “unconfirmed reports” of an attack on a vessel in the area. A Saudi defence ministry statement did not say whether there had been any damage as a result of the operation by the Saudi navy to intercept and destroy the remote-controlled drone boat on Tuesday. The state-run Saudi Press Agency quoted Saudi military spokesman Turki al-Maliki saying: “The booby-trapped boat was dealt and destroyed according to the rules of engagement.”
