Yemen's Houthi forces attacked an oil tanker near the Gulf of Aden with fast attack boats, according to a single-source report. The extent of damage and any casualties have not yet been reported.
Houthi forces in Yemen struck an oil tanker near the Gulf of Aden with fast attack boats, the Telegram source said Wednesday evening. The brief notification did not name the vessel, specify the extent of damage, or report casualties. The attack comes amid a string of Houthi maritime incidents in the region over recent days — as The Zioneer reported on Monday, an explosion was reported on a different oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden, and earlier the same day the Houthis attacked a vessel in the Bab el-Mandeb strait. The credibility of this latest report is limited by its single-source origin; no independent confirmation has emerged yet.
