Newsweek has such shit journalism, man:

Yemen’s Houthi rebels continued their attacks in the Red Sea by targeting two tankers in 24 hours, including a vessel carrying Russian oil likely heading to Asia, where China is the region’s largest buyer.

That’s the only justification given… Even though, y’know, India has been the largest buyer of seaborne Russian oil since the sanctions and is also, shockingly, in Asia. Meanwhile, it’s summer and the Northern Sea Route is viable, cutting the transport distance almost in half.
