The Houthis suggested Wednesday that they may allow the Sounion to be salvaged, though the rebels already once blocked crews trying to reach the abandoned vessel, the U.S. military said.
This frame grab from video released by the Ansar Allah Media Office, the media arm of Yemen’s Houthi rebels, on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024, shows explosions striking the Greek-flagged oil tanker Sounion in the Red Sea after Yemen’s Houthi rebels boarded and set explosives on the tanker.
The Sounion carried some 1 million barrels of oil when the Houthis initially attacked it Aug. 21 with small arms fire, projectiles and a drone boat. A French destroyer operating as part of Operation Aspides rescued the Sounion’s crew of 25 Filipinos and Russians, as well as four private security personnel, after the abandoned the vessel and took them to nearby Djibouti.
