A Houthi surface sea drone struck a Greek-owned and operated merchant ship in the Red Sea on Tuesday, resulting in flooding and damage, according to US Central Command. The incident involved the M/V Tutor, a Liberian-flagged vessel owned and operated by a Greek company. The ship had most recently been in Russia before the unfortunate encounter with the unmanned surface vehicle (USV).
The impact of the sea drone caused significant flooding and damage to the engine room of the M/V Tutor, highlighting the destructive capabilities of such technology in maritime settings. This incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing security challenges faced by vessels navigating through sensitive regions like the Red Sea.
