An oil tanker is on fire in the Gulf of Aden, its operator says, after Houthis said they hit it with a missile.
US officials told the BBC’s US partner CBS the tanker was hit by an anti-ship ballistic missile and a naval ship was responding to its distress signal.
There were no injuries reported, the US officials said.
Houthi military spokesman Yaha Sarea said the group used “a number of appropriate naval missiles” and Friday’s strike was “direct”.
Owned by a multinational, registered at a flag of convenience, trading between two non-involved small countries m, yet y’all are trying to claim this is a legit strike back against “imperialism”or “Zionism”. BS it’s classic attention-seeking. They’re striking out at random passersby at the instigation of Iran trying to benefit from Chaos
It’s linked with the UK. It’s right there in the Article. And UK ships got blocked after they started bombing Yemen.
If Yemen bombed UK soil directly, do you think the UK should also let ships of Yemen pass through their waters?
