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… Just ignored what I said about the Ottomans and keep bringing up colonial-era examples. You know what I don’t care enough about this conversation.

      You… Just ignored what I said about the Ottomans

      I literally asked if you were willing to stand by your claim about the Ottomans and stated a willingness to list their exceptional brutality in MENA.

      Also, it’s cute that you think the Ottoman-era was ‘pre’ colonialism. I guess it’s only colonialism if it comes from Western Europe, otherwise it’s just sparkling liberation.

      You know what I don’t care enough about this conversation.

      Clearly, you don’t know enough to have warranted starting it.
