The British military said a Greek tanker was hit by a series of suspected Houthi attacks.
Amid tensions in the Red Sea, a Greek-flagged oil tanker was left drifting and burning on Wednesday after a series of suspected attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels, the British military said, according to the Associated Press .The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center reported that the attack began when men aboard small boats opened fire on the tanker with small arms, approximately 90 miles west of the Houthi-controlled Yemeni port city of Hodeida.
The tanker Sounion is one of several vessels associated with the Greek company Delta Tankers to come under attack in recent weeks, as the Houthi rebels continue to assert their presence in the Red Sea, an area through which approximately $1 trillion in cargo passes annually.
