Oil tanker damaged in Houthi missile strike

A crude oil tanker has been damaged in a missile attack off the coast of Yemen - the latest strike to be carried out by the Houthis.

The incident happened roughly 15 nautical miles south-west of the Yemeni city of Mocha.

British maritime security agency UKMTO reported that the Panama-flagged ship was struck twice and suffered damage.

No injuries or deaths have been reported and the incident is being investigated.

Its current owner is Seychelles-registered and was engaged in Russia-linked trade - travelling from the Russia town of Primorsk to Vadinar, in the Indian state of Gujarat, when the attack happened.

Renewable energies don’t have to be transported through dangerous parts of the world on large tanker ships, just saying

NoneOfUrBusiness,

Okay it's not like I'm mad a Russian tanker got hit, but why? Russians are Iran and therefore Houthi allies no?

No deaths and injuries, russian oil takes a hit. Sounds like a win for everyone.

GBU_28,

Hopefully no leak either.

I’m not sure what the Houthis hope to achieve by poisoning their own coastline with oil, but I guess keep it up if that’s what you’re going for, guys.

NoneOfUrBusiness,

I mean the strikes are working, but they could definitely afford to, like, actually choose who they attack.
