The Sounion, a Greek-flagged oil tanker, was attacked in the Red Sea by more than a dozen assailants in two boats, highlighting escalating maritime security risks.
Greece’s Maritime Affairs Minister Christos Stylianides condemned the attack on the Sounion, labeling it a flagrant violation of international law and a serious threat to shipping security.
The Iranian-aligned Houthis have been targeting international shipping since last November, claiming solidarity with Palestinians amid the Gaza conflict, but haven't confirmed their role in the Sounion attack.
Delta Tankers confirmed that the Sounion was adrift with minor damage after a series of attacks, marking it as the third of their vessels targeted by Houthis.
