AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Two oil tankers belonging to Israel were targeted by unidentified drones in the west and northwest of Maldives in the past days, media reported an informed official as saying.

Initial reports indicate that both oil tankers were seriously damaged by explosions, Jordan News reported.

According to the plan, these two oil tankers were supposed to pass through the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Red Sea.

The Yemen's army threatened to target Israeli ships and oil tankers in the Red Sea until the end of the war in Gaza.

However, the two mentioned oil tankers were targeted by unidentified drones at a distance of 2000 km from Bab al-Mandab Strait.

More importantly, both ships were forced to change course due to damage and fear of being hit again.

Israeli officials were not willing to confirm or deny this news for various reasons.
