In the Gulf of Aden, located between the Arabian Peninsula and Africa, a serious incident could occur with a tanker transporting Russian oil.
It is possible that the ship was fired upon by the Houthis.
Moreover, we are talking specifically about a mistake on the part of the rebels from Yemen.
Representatives of the British company Ambrey came to this conclusion, reports.
Details of the possible incident
According to published information, a missile was fired towards the tanker.
However, she fell about half a kilometer from the ship. Thus, the shelling did not damage the tanker, so the latter continued on its way.
The location of the incident was a point located approximately 160 kilometers from the Yemeni port of Aden.
According to a statement from Ambrey representatives, this is the second such incident. It is emphasized that earlier the Houthis fired at another ship carrying Russian oil.
The British organization noted that the Houthis made a mistake because they had outdated data on the ownership of the tanker.
Earlier, the US launched Tomahawk missiles at Yemen.
