Germany is “very worried” that attacks on oil tankers in the Red Sea by Yemen’s Houthi militants risk escalating conflicts in the region, AFP reports quoting the country’s defence minister.
“Recent developments, specifically concerning the Houthis and Saudi Arabian tankers, raise concerns that an escalation could be imminent,” Defence Minister Boris Pistorius says, adding that the situation has “dire consequences” for those living in the region and global energy supplies.
