Houthi rebels
Houthi rebels have carried out a number of attacks targeting oil and gas operations in the Middle East in recent years.

The Yemeni rebels also seized a UAE-flagged cargo ship at the beginning of the year. The Houthis claimed it was transporting weapons and have refused to release it.
