Latest news! Houthi attack warships and cargo ships!
Local time on March 14, Houthi announced that it would take action to prevent ships related to Israel from sailing. It will not only prevent these ships from passing through the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, but also further extend to the Indian Ocean, including preventing them from sailing to their destinations through the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.
Yemeni Houthi spokesman Yahya Salea issued a statement on March 15, local time, saying that Houthi armed forces used drones to successfully attack a US warship in the Red Sea, and used rockets to attack a ship named "Pacific 01" in the Red Sea. Houthi armed forces said that the ship was related to Israel.
It is reported that the attacked merchant ship was a Panamanian-flagged LR2 oil tanker. The reason why Houthi armed forces called this oil tanker "Israeli ship" may be based on the old information in the database. The oil tanker has been managed by Singapore East Pacific Shipping Company (EPS) controlled by Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer since 2015.
However, according to the latest data, the ship named "Koro Sea" transferred its ownership and management rights to Vietnam-based Pacific Energy Transportation Company last month and changed its name to "Pacific 01”.
The chaos was further exacerbated by the attack and unspecified damage, according to a preliminary report by the British Maritime Trade Organization. However, UKMTO subsequently clarified its report, and after a daytime inspection, the captain confirmed that the ship had not been hit or damaged, and that the AIS signal being used continued to indicate that it would pass through the Suez Canal.
最新消息！胡塞武装袭击军舰和货船！
当地时间3月14日，胡塞武装宣布将采取行动阻止与以色列相关的船只航行。不仅将阻止这些船只通过阿拉伯海、红海和亚丁湾，还将进一步扩展到印度洋，包括阻止它们通过南非好望角驶往目的地。
当地时间3月15日，也门胡塞武装发言人叶海亚·萨雷亚发表声明称，胡塞武装利用无人机成功对红海上一舰美国军舰实施了袭击，并使用火箭弹对红海上一船名为“太平洋一号”(Pacific01)的船只实施了袭击。胡塞武装称这艘船只与以色列有关。
据悉，被袭商船是一舰悬挂巴拿马国旗的LR2油轮。胡塞武装之所以将这船油轮称作“以色列船只”，可能是基于数据库中的旧信息，该油轮自2015年起一直由以色列亿万富豪伊丹·奥弗(Idan Ofer)掌控的新加坡东太平洋航运公司(EPS)管理。
然而，据最新数据显示，这船名为“Koro Sea”的船舶上个月已将其所有权和管理权转让给总部位于越南的太平洋能源运输公司，并更名为“太平洋01”号。
据英国海事贸易组织的初步报告指出，该油轮遭到袭击并遭受了不明损坏，进一步加剧了混乱局面。然而，UKMTO随后澄清了其报告，经过日间检查，船长确认船只并未被击中，也未受损，并且正继续使用的AIS信号表明其将通过苏伊士运河。
