The video released by the Houthis shows a series of explosions on the oil tanker Sounion, raising concerns about a potential environmental catastrophe from an oil spill.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed the tanker was targeted for violating their blockade against Israel-bound ships, amid escalating regional tensions and warfare.
The Houthis have escalated their attacks to include vessels linked to the U.S. and U.K. following military interventions aimed at curbing their influence in shipping lanes.
Drone footage captured explosions on the Sounion but did not indicate damage to the core where the crude oil is stored, leaving spill risks uncertain.
