In a troubling development, Yemen's Houthi rebels have released footage showcasing their deliberate actions of boarding and setting explosives aboard a Greek-flagged tanker, the Sounion. This incident occurred after the rebels repeatedly attacked the vessel, which had been left abandoned. The intentional setting off of explosives on the tanker poses a significant risk to the Red Sea, potentially leading to a major oil spill.
The Houthis were seen chanting their group's motto as the explosives detonated on the Sounion, expressing sentiments such as 'God is the greatest; death to America; death to Israel; curse the Jews; victory to Islam.'
