Houthis claim missile attack on tanker, saying it was loaded with oil bound for Israel
Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim responsibility for a missile strike on a Norwegian-flagged tanker a day earlier off Yemen’s coast in the Red Sea.
“The naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation against the Norwegian ship Strinda, which was loaded with oil” bound for Israel, military spokesman Yahya Saree says.
