Yemen’s Houthi group has released footage showing them attacking a Greek-flagged oil tanker in the southern Red Sea earlier this week.
The tanker’s 25-person crew was rescued by an EU naval mission on Wednesday after abandoning ship, said the British military.
The tanker was carrying over 150,000 tonnes of crude oil from Iraq to Greece when it was attacked.
The ship is currently abandoned and on fire, approximately 77 nautical miles off the coast of Yemen.
The Red Sea is one of the world’s most frequently used sea routes for oil and fuel shipments.
The Houthis have been targeting Israel-bound cargo ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden in solidarity with Gaza, which has been under an Israeli genocidal war since October last year.
