An attack by Yemens Houthi insurgents on a Saudi oil tanker would have no impact on oil supplies, Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said on Wednesday. "The Houthi terrorist attack is a desperate attempt to impact the security of international navigation," Falih said on his official Twitter account. “It will not affect economic activity or stall oil supplies,” he added. The Saudi-led coalition has said the Iran-backed Houthis attacked the tanker off Yemens port city of Hodeidah on Tuesday. The tanker continued on its route "after the rapid intervention of a coalition naval vessel", it said.
