Houthis Attack 2 Ships With Missiles And Booby Trapped Boats, Mock US "Humiliation" In Red Sea

Yemen’s Houthi rebels released a video purportedly showing attacks on the Chios Lion crude oil tanker in the Red Sea on July 15. British Maritime security firm UKMTO* said that the Chios Lion was approached by a USV from its port side. An uncrewed Houthi aerial vehicle “impacted on the port side causing some damage and light smoke,” the UKMTO said. The Houthis also showed clips of an attack on Israeli-owned MT Bently I vessel the same day. Meanwhile, the Iran-backed Houthis mocked the US saying they have humiliated Washington through its Red Sea campaign to support the Palestinians. Houthis allege the US ordered Saudi Arabia to undertake aggressive actions against Yemen as a service to Israel
