The oil tanker Sounion, allegedly attacked by Houthi rebels, was rescued by a French destroyer after drifting ablaze in the Red Sea amid ongoing maritime assaults.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have been engaged in a campaign targeting vessels in the Red Sea, claiming to retaliate against US and Israeli actions in Gaza.
The Houthis reportedly acknowledge their retaliatory actions following US airstrikes, which targeted their missile systems after nearly 80 maritime attacks post-Gaza war.
Despite claiming to only target vessels linked to hostile nations, many of the attacked ships have minimal connections to the Israel-Gaza conflict.
