Iranian merchant ship struck in Strait of Hormuz... Ansar Allah (Houthis) attack Saudi military base

[Financial News] As the armed conflict between the United States and Iran continues, an Iranian merchant ship was struck near Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Iranian state media and other sources on the 13th (local time), one person was killed and three were injured in the attack.
Separately, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), operated by the British Navy, also reported that "a vessel passing through the Strait of Hormuz was struck by a projectile." However, it has not yet been confirmed whether the vessel mentioned by the UKMTO is the same Iranian merchant ship struck that day, and the perpetrators of the attacks and the extent of the damage in both incidents have not been accurately determined.
Meanwhile, Ansar Allah (Houthis), the pro-Iranian rebel group in Yemen, claimed to have fired drones and missiles toward Saudi Arabia. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree stated in a statement today that they "attacked a military base in the Najran region of Saudi Arabia."
According to Saudi civil defense authorities, although an air-raid alert was sounded in the area on the 12th, no casualties or property damage have been reported yet. However, Saudi civil defense authorities stated, "Overnight, the Houthis fired projectiles at Al-Tawal Province on the Yemeni border along the Red Sea coast, injuring two people and damaging several buildings."
The United States and Iran have continued their armed confrontation since U.S. forces struck an Iranian rocket launcher used for laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz on the 30th of last month. Taking advantage of this situation, the Houthis are expanding their control of the Red Sea and clashing with the Saudi-backed Yemeni government, causing the repercussions of the war involving Iran to spread to neighboring countries.
