Video of Houthi rebels’ attack on oil tanker goes viral: 6 explosions carried out simultaneously on Greek tanker, danger of oil spilling into the sea

Yemen’s Houthi rebels have released a video of an attack on an oil tanker flying the flag of Greece. In this video, Houthi rebels are seen climbing the tanker. After climbing the tanker, the Houthi rebels planted explosives and blasted 6 places simultaneously. The name of this oil tanker is Sonia. Houthi rebels fired on Sonia on 21 August in the Red Sea from two boats. The firing caused a fire on the ship. Due to the fire and repeated attacks by Houthi rebels, the crew on the tanker was rescued. After this, Houthi rebels attacked the ship again. This time they climbed on the ship and blasted it by planting explosives in it. The spokesperson of the Houthi group in Yemen has posted a video of the attack on the social media platform X. The risk of oil spilling in the sea increased
The blast after the attack by Houthi rebels on the oil tanker has created a risk of oil spilling in the sea. This tanker is carrying 1.5 lakh tonnes or more than 10 lakh barrels of crude oil. However, the European Union said that there has been no oil spill from the Sonia so far. There were 25 crew members from the Philippines and Russia on the tanker and 4 other security guards. They were rescued by a French warship and left in Djibouti. On Saturday, the US State Department expressed concern about the attacks on the Sonia in a statement. At the same time, the US has warned about the possibility of the biggest oil spill ever. Earlier in 1989, 2 lakh 57 thousand barrels of oil had leaked from the Exxon Valdez ship in the Gulf of Alaska. Houthi rebels have sunk 2 ships so far
