Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces said in a statement on Tuesday that the Yemeni military targeted and hit the British oil tanker Cordelia Moon in Red Sea.
Yemen says its armed forces have targeted a British oil vessel with cruise and ballistic missiles during a series of operations in the Red Sea on Tuesday.
The country’s armed forces said in a statement that the oil tanker—CORDELIA MOON— was severely damaged after being struck with “eight ballistic and cruise missiles, a drone, and a drone boat.”
A British maritime agency also confirmed the attack on the oil tanker, saying it was hit by a sea drone, puncturing a ballast tank.
Another vessel, MARATHOPOLIS, which is registered and sailing under the flag of Malta, was struck in a separate operation in the Indian Ocean with a cruise missile, Yemen said.
