The Houthis attacked a Greek ship in the Red Sea (video)
The Houthis attacked the Greek oil tanker MV Sounion in the Red Sea. As a result of the attack, a powerful explosion occurred on the ship. The British reported that the ship's crew was rescued, but he himself was seriously injured and left at sea.
Yemen's Iranian-backed Ansarullah movement (Houthis) released footage of an attack on the Greek oil tanker MV Sounion in the Red Sea.
In particular, a video showing the attack on the Greek ship and its burning after being hit was circulated on social networks.
The Houthis announced that this attack was carried out in connection with "violation of the ban on access to Israeli ports."
In turn, the British ambassador in Sana'a, Abda Sharif, reported that the crew of the attacked ship was rescued, and the heavily damaged ship remained in the Red Sea.
According to The Telegraph, the US-led coalition's Operation Welfare Guardian, launched in December 2023 in response to Houthi attacks on commercial ships in the southern Red Sea, has failed.
It was noted that the purpose of the operation was to provide a single international front that would deter the Houthis from further attacks. It was also intended to reassure shipping companies that were beginning to take the long route around the Cape of Good Hope due to concerns about risk and insurance costs.
