Rocket strike caused partial sinking of the ship.
Iran-backed Yemeni Houthis the oil tanker Wind, owned by a Greek company and flying the flag of Panama was heading to China in the Red Sea, was hit by an anti-ship ballistic missile in the Red Sea, and before that the tanker moored in Russia.
This is reported by the Central Command of the US Armed Forces.
The rocket impact caused flooding, which caused loss of steering traction.
Coral of the Western Coalition immediately responded to the distress signal sent by the ship “Wind”, but no help was needed. The crew was able to independently resume movement on their course. There has been no information about casualties yet.
“This continued malicious and reckless behavior by the Iran-backed Houthis threatens regional stability and puts the lives of sailors in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden at risk,” it said.
Recall that it was previously reported that The United States shot down a Houthi ballistic missile in the Red Sea.
In addition, we previously reported that in the Red Sea, a German ship intercepted a Houthi missile.
