The Houthi rebels attacked two tankers departed from Russia.
Yemen's Houthi rebels continued their attacks in the Red Sea by targeting two tankers in 24 hours, including a vessel carrying Russian oil likely heading to Asia, where China is the region's largest buyer.The Monday attacks come as the West's sanctions target Russia's economy due to its invasion of Ukraine. Exporting crude oil to friendly countries has become crucial for the Kremlin to maintain its war economy.
The Chios Lion suffered minor damage to its port side and changed its course from southward to northward to assess damage and investigate a potential oil spill, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing the Joint Maritime Information Center.The Houthis also attacked MT Bentley I, a Panama-flagged, Israel-owned, Monaco-operated tanker carrying Russian vegetable oil and bound for China, the U.S. military said.
