A crude oil tanker has been damaged in a missile attack off the coast of Yemen - the latest strike to be carried out by the Houthis.
The incident happened roughly 15 nautical miles south-west of the Yemeni city of Mocha.
British maritime security agency UKMTO reported that the Panama-flagged ship was struck twice and suffered damage.
No injuries or deaths have been reported and the incident is being investigated.
…
Its current owner is Seychelles-registered and was engaged in Russia-linked trade - travelling from the Russia town of Primorsk to Vadinar, in the Indian state of Gujarat, when the attack happened.

I’m not sure what the Houthis hope to achieve by poisoning their own coastline with oil, but I guess keep it up if that’s what you’re going for, guys.
No deaths and injuries, russian oil takes a hit. Sounds like a win for everyone.
Hopefully no leak either.
Renewable energies don’t have to be transported through dangerous parts of the world on large tanker ships, just saying
