Friendly Fire: Yemeni Hutivit Attacked in the Red Sea tanker with Russian oil

In total, two tankers were attacked, but one, Blue Lagoon I under the flag of Panama, accurately transported Russian raw oil. Yran Yran Yemeni Hutyvita began the first week of September by attacking the Red Sea of ​​two tankers with raw oil - Amjad under the flag of Saudi Arabia and Blue Lagoon I under the flag of Panama, the US military reported, calling "reckless acts of terrorism. " It is known that Blue Lagoon I was heading from the Russian port of Ust-Luga with a cargo of Russian oil.

Reuters writes about it. On Monday in the evening, Hutivit took responsibility for the attack on the Blue Lagun with the use of numerous missiles and drones, but did not mention the Saudi tanker. The US Central Command said it was attacked by two tankers by applying two ballistic missiles and a unilateral unilateral aviation system, resulting in damage to both vessels. Both vessels were loaded with raw oil, with Amjad transported about two million barrels of oil.

At once, two sources reported to the Reuters agency that the ships were going with each other when they hit them, but they were able to continue their swimming without serious injuries or casualties. The owner of AMJAD, Saudi National Bahri Shipping Group, did not immediately respond to a comment request. Super tanker has a maximum capacity of 2 million barrels. The Greek Blue Lagoon I, Sea Trade Marine SA, was not available for comments. The tanker has a maximum capacity of 1 million barrels.

Judging by Marine Traffic, which tracks the movement of ships in real time, it is still in the Red Sea, and the data was obtained a day ago. Both tankers are believed to have been attacked because they came to the ports of Israel earlier. Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, is watching Hussites with anxiety by anxiety over its territory, aiming at a ship in the Red Sea. Saudi Arabia tries to get out of war in Yemen and destructive hostility with the main patron of Hussites, Iran.

For the first time, Houses began to strike from the air and rockets on the waterway last November. They say they act as a sign of solidarity with Palestinians. During more than 70 attacks, two vessels were buried, they seized one more, and killed at least three sailors.

The United Naval Information Center, which is governed by the International Naval Forces to track Hussite attacks, reported that on Monday, three ballistic missiles hit the Blue Lagoon Tanker I for 70 naval miles northwest of the North West of the North Yemeni Port Salif. Recall that at the end of August, the Yemeni Hutivita posted a video showing how to storm the Greek oil tanker Sounion before arranging several explosions through which the Red Sea was threatened with large oil spill.
