Vessel hit 60 nautical miles off the coast of Yemen in the latest reported attack by movement.

An oil tanker is on fire in the Gulf of Aden, its operator says, after Houthis said they hit it with a missile.

US officials told the BBC’s US partner CBS the tanker was hit by an anti-ship ballistic missile and a naval ship was responding to its distress signal.

There were no injuries reported, the US officials said.

Houthi military spokesman Yaha Sarea said the group used “a number of appropriate naval missiles” and Friday’s strike was “direct”.

    You think there’s a genocide going on somewhere maybe? Or is Iran just making that one up too?

    I didn’t say that there’s not a genocide, thanks for putting those words in my mouth for me. Fuck Netanyahu. I’m saying that the region’s usual suspects aren’t letting a good crisis go to waste to line their own pockets by promoting and funding further escalation. Iran et al. thrive on the dark markets, and the dark markets thrive during times of instability.
