Drones struck two Saudi Arabian oil tankers en route to Kenya, disrupting fuel supplies. The attacks damaged the vessels' engines, delaying deliveries. The incidents occurred in the Arabian Sea, near the Gulf of Aden.
Kenyan authorities confirmed the attacks, which targeted ships carrying petroleum products. The damage forced the vessels to seek repairs, affecting fuel availability in the country. No casualties were reported.
This follows a rise in maritime attacks targeting commercial vessels in the region. Previous incidents have targeted both Kenyan and foreign ships. The Kenyan navy has increased patrols but has not yet identified the perpetrators. The attacks highlight growing security risks for regional trade routes.
