Yemen’s Houthis have attacked the oil tanker Blue Lagoon I in the Red Sea, the Houthi’ military spokesman Yahya Sarea said, APA reports.
“Yemen’s armed forces have targeted the vessel Blue Lagoon I in the Red Sea with multiple missiles and drones,” the Houthis’ Al Masirah television quoted Sarea as saying.
According to Sarea, the Houthi forces directly targeted the vessel which he said was attacked because its owner “had violated rules of calling at ports in the occupied Palestine.”
On Monday morning, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that a commercial vessel had been hit by unknown projectiles 70 nautical miles northwest of Saleef and that a third exploded in close proximity to the vessel. Reuters reported the oil tanker Blue Lagoon I had been targeted.
