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”.
This isn’t a protest it’s piracy. And this isn’t a commuter highway it’s the logistical route for transferring goods from Asia to Europe.
Nobody is listening to the people trying to take the entire world hostage. You have the shittiest take on piracy I’ve ever seen.
Go open a history book and find out how the Apartheid in South Africa ended.
I must have missed the part where the ANC attempted to block the Suez Canal. In fact it was the reverse. The world boycotted the South African Apartheid regime.
You know how you don’t get the world to boycott Israel? By demanding it with terrorism.
