Οι Χούθι έπληξαν το φορτηγό πλοίο Verbena στον Κόλπο του Άντεν: Το πλήρωμα το εγκατέλειψε, ιρανικό πλοίο “έβλεπε” την επίθεση, ανακοίνωσε η αμερικανική CENTCOM

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed on Monday that the Greek-owned freighter, ‘Transworld Navigator’, was hit by a Huthi drone off Yemen, as first mentioned by the spokesman for the rebels on Sunday.

According to a Reuters report, the Liberian-flagged M/V Transworld Navigator was attacked by the drone around 04:00 on Sunday. The crew reported minor injuries and limited damage, and the ship continued on its way. It is the fourth time this vessel has been attacked by the Houthi.

Last week, the Greek-owned bulk carrier ‘Tutor’ was fired on by a small vessel and sank after an explosion on board. The ship had a crew of 22, all Filipino nationals who were rescued by a US cruiser, ‘Philippine Sea’, except a missing crew member.
