"Houthi Missile Attack Sets Oil Tanker Ablaze in Gulf of Aden"

A Marshall Islands-flagged tanker hit by a Houthi missile off Yemen was extinguished by its crew after hours of fire, complicating the Red Sea crisis amid the conflict between the rebels and the US. The tanker carried Russian-produced naphtha, drawing Moscow further into the conflict, and the US conducted a strike against a Houthi anti-ship missile. The Indian navy assisted in fighting the fire, and the rebels have threatened to target American and British ships. Another incident involving armed individuals near a vessel in the Arabian Sea was reported, possibly linked to increased Somali pirate activity.

Houthi Rebels Target International Tankers in Red Sea, US Navy Boasts Successful Defense

Yemen's Houthi movement claimed responsibility for striking a Norwegian oil and chemical tanker, the Strinda, with a rocket near the Bab al-Mandab strait. The attack was in protest against Israel's bombardment of Gaza, and the Houthis vowed to continue blocking ships heading to Israeli ports until Israel allows the entry of food and medical aid into Gaza. The U.S. military confirmed the attack and stated that there were no casualties. This incident follows recent attacks by the Houthis on Israeli and U.S. forces in the region, including the seizure of Israeli-linked ships and the firing of ballistic missiles and armed drones at Israel.

Houthi Rebels Target International Shipping in Yemen Conflict

A Norwegian-flagged tanker was struck by a missile fired by Iran-backed Houthi rebels off the coast of Yemen. The rebels claimed responsibility, stating that they targeted the tanker after the crew refused to respond to warning calls. The attack, which caused a fire on board but no casualties, is part of the rebels' campaign to target ships near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The vessel was en route to the Suez Canal and it is unclear if it had any ties to Israel. The Houthis have vowed to block all ships heading to Israeli ports until Israel allows the entry of food and medical aid into the Gaza Strip.

Escalating Attacks on Shipping in Red Sea Raise Concerns

A Norwegian-owned tanker ship, the Strinda, was hit by a cruise missile while passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait off the coast of Yemen. The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the attack, which is believed to have been carried out by Houthi rebels. The ship caught fire but no casualties were reported, and the crew managed to extinguish the flames. The vessel is now proceeding to a safe port. This incident comes amid escalating threats on commercial shipping in the region, with the Houthis targeting vessels in the Red Sea and launching drones and missiles towards Israel. The US and France have reported Houthi drones heading towards their ships but have not directly responded to the attacks.

Increasing Houthi Rebel Attacks on Shipping Prompt International Concern

A cruise missile launched from Yemen by Houthi rebels struck a commercial tanker vessel, causing a fire and damage but no casualties. The attack occurred north of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Mason provided aid. The tanker, named STRINDA, is Norwegian-flagged and was carrying vegetable oil and biofuels from Malaysia to Venice. The Houthis, who support the Palestinians, have been targeting vessels in shipping lanes and have warned international shipping companies against dealing with Israeli ports. The United States and Britain have condemned the attacks, blaming Iran for supporting the Houthis.
