Video has emerged of a Houthi drone-boat attack on the Greek merchant ship Tutor, which was hit three times in the Red Sea.
Video footage has emerged of Houthi rebels attacking a ship carrying Russian cargo in the Red Sea.
The video, released by the Houthis as propaganda, shows the Greek merchant ship Tutor taking heavy damage from so-called drone boats before beginning to sink.
All three impacts are clearly visible, with each strike targeting a different section of the vessel’s port side, sending up fire and plumes of smoke. The first strike, seen near the stern, hit the Tutor’s engine room and crippled the ship.
The merchant ship, carrying Russian cargo through the Red Sea, was struck on June 12, prompting the immediate evacuation of the entire crew with the assistance of the French Navy. While no deaths were reported as a result of the attack, the ship was unable to stay afloat and sank by June 16, as reported by British maritime officials.
