The Houthi militia in Yemen released a video purporting to show a drone strike on the Liberian-flagged oil tanker, CHIOS Lion, in the Red Sea on Monday. The U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) confirmed the attack, stating the Marshall Islands-owned vessel is operated by a Greek company.
Details surrounding the extent of damage and any potential casualties remain unclear at this time. The incident underscores the ongoing volatility in the Red Sea, a critical shipping lane for global energy supplies.
