Oil tanker destroyed by Yemeni drone ship

The military media of Yemeni armed forces released on Tuesday video footage showing the operation of targeting the “CHIOS Lion” oil tanker, which was hit with a drone boat in the Red Sea.

The attack came after the company that owns it violated the Yemeni ban on entry to Zionist entity ports.

In accordance with the decision of the Yemeni Armed Forces issued on May 3, 2024, concerning the prohibition of ships entering the ports of occupied Palestine and targeting the ships of companies that violate the decision, and in support of the oppressed Palestinian people, the Yemeni naval forces targeted the ship CHIOS Lion on July 15, 2024, with a drone boat.

“This ship belongs to one of the companies that violated the ban. The Armed Forces confirm that their operations will continue and escalate, as promised by the leader, as long as the Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip does not stop,” the media message said.
