Iran-aligned Houthi forces in Yemen have attacked multiple ships, including oil tankers, in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, raising concerns about maritime security and regional tensions.
The Iran -aligned Houthis in Yemen have attacked two ships in the Red Sea , including an oil tanker, and one vessel in the Mediterranean , the Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said. The Houthis used on Monday “a number of drone boats”, UAVs, and ballistic missiles to target the MT Bentley in the Red Sea , he added in a post on X. MT Bentley I is a Panama-flagged, Israel-owned, Monaco-operated tanker vessel in the Red Sea carrying vegetable oil from Russia to China, the U.S.
The Houthis also targeted the vessel Olvia in the Mediterranean, their military spokesman said as the rebel group has stepped up attacks in the Red Sea. The Houthis said the latest attacks were in response to the Israeli air strike on the city of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip on Saturday. In May, the Houthis expanded their reach and hit six vessels in three seas, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea.
