Liberia-flagged oil tanker Chios Lion was assessing damage and investigating a potential oil spill after it was attacked by Yemen's Houthis in the Red Sea, the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Joint Maritime Information Center said.
An unmanned watercraft inflicted minor damage to Chios Lion's port side as part of a swarm of attacks by the Houthis on the vessel and another ship sailing around 100 nautical miles northwest of Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah.
The Houthis said they targeted Chios Lion and Panama-flagged Bentley I with ballistic missiles, drones and booby-trapped boats in response to the recent deadly Israeli airstrike on the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis.
