This is reported by RBC-Ukraine via Reuters.
An anti-ship missile was used to strike the ship. The US Central Command reported that the USS Mason shot down one anti-ship ballistic missile launched as far as the Aden Bay from the Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, which was apparently aimed at the tanker.
It is believed that the US S Mason, No Torm Thor was injured, and the downed missile landed at a distance from a naphtha tanker and a US Navy ship.
It was windy
It was previously reported that the Yemeni Houthis fired rockets at the Marlin Luanda tanker of the Trafigura company Group evening on the 26th. The impact was approximately 55 miles away at the daytime descent near the city of Aden. There was a fire on board the ship.
It became clear later that the tanker was transporting Russian naphtha products for the production of gasoline and plastics. The oil was loaded onto a ship off Greece to indicate that the carrier had violated the EU and US sanctions on the export of Russian petroleum products.
Suddenly, the Houthis launched a missile attack on a tanker with Russian petroleum on the 12th. It appears that the rocket launch took place 90 nautical miles away from the Yemen port of Aden. It is indicated that the ship was chosen as a target for the strike, most likely on the basis of old, secretly accessible information. Previously, the tanker was owned by one of the British companies.
It was also reported that on the 17th, militants attacked a tanker under the Panama flag with a missile near the Red Sea, which was transporting crude naphtha to India.
