Houthi Maritime Drone Strikes "Transworld Navigator" In Fourth Attack On Ship
Published 4 months ago
This footage, provided by a Houthi media outlet in Yemen, shows a maritime drone belonging to the Houthi rebel faction being used to attack the “Transworld Navigator”- a bulk cargo ship that has been attacked four times according to US CENTCOM.
The crew of the Greek-owned ship have reported moderate damage to the Transworld Navigator, but no injuries as a result of the maritime drone strike. Previous airborne drone attacks have managed to injure crewmembers. Given to exaggeration, the Houthis claim that attacks such as these have caused the United States’ Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group to withdraw, when in reality they are being replaced after a seven month tour by the Roosevelt Carrier group.
