Saudi Arabia Intercepts 'Rebel Boat Bomb' from Yemen
Saudi authorities said Wednesday they had intercepted an unmanned boat rigged with explosives that was sent by Yemeni Huthi rebels to target an oil plant on the kingdom's southwestern coast.
The boat, sent from a small island off the Yemeni coast, was targeting a petroleum products distribution terminal run by Saudi oil giant Aramco when it was intercepted on Tuesday, the interior ministry said in a statement carried by the SPA state news agency.
"The boat was spotted when it departed from a small island in Yemeni waters and gained speed after entering Saudi waters," the ministry said.
After determining that the boat was unmanned, a coast guard unit opened fire on its engine and stopped it 2.8 kilometers from the terminal in the southern Jazan region, the statement said.
The boat was loaded with "strong explosive material," it said.
The ministry vowed to foil all "terrorist attempts" against the kingdom and to "reach those behind them from the Huthi militias."
Saudi Arabia is leading an Arab coalition that in March 2015 launched a military campaign against Iran-backed Yemeni rebels in support of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.

Yemen desert zones with no population in them, that is what Saudi Arabia controls, except Aden that you declared the new Capital of Yemen, that is the same thing as if Rifi declared Tripoli the capitol of Lebanon.
The joke is on you texas.
The Resistance has reversed all gains in Hama Syria and even taken more than that too.
Turkey just bombed your so called "stronger SDF force" in Syria, despite American warnings, seems your warring sides are fighting each other.
Erdogan hates Kurdish expanding dreams even more than he hates Assad, and that is a fact.
