Yemeni missile strikes Greek-owned oil tanker in Red Sea

Yemen's armed forces announced that they hit an oil tanker in the Red Sea with a ballistic missile early Saturday, damaging the Panama-flagged Greek-owned vessel headed toward occupied Palestine.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Yemen's armed forces announced that they hit an oil tanker in the Red Sea with a ballistic missile early Saturday, damaging the Panama-flagged Greek-owned vessel headed toward occupied Palestine.

This Yemeni strike was the latest in months of attacks on ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden bound for Occupied Palestine.

The Yemenis launched a single anti-ship missile at the M/T Wind, a Panamanian-flagged and Greek-owned oil tanker, at around 1 a.m. local time, causing flooding that knocked out its propulsion and steering, CENTCOM said.

Earlier on, Al-Mayadeen TV reported that the Yemeni army had succeeded in shooting down an American drone in the northeast of Yemen.

Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying regime of Israel.

Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza, which have killed more than 33,400 people and wounded over 76,000, come to an end.
