Houthis blow up hijacked Greek oil tanker

Houthi rebels from Yemen have blown up sections of a hijacked oil tanker, prompting fears of a major oil spill and environmental disaster in the Red Sea. Video footage shows an armed and masked Houthi rebel walking alone on the oil tanker Sounion, which was first attacked on Aug 22 with its crew forced to flee. The Houthi rebel plants what appears to be explosive devices on the Greek-flagged vessel. The next scene in the video, which appears to have been shot by the Houthis using a drone camera, shows at least five explosions at the same time along the ship. Read more here: #houthi #redsea
