A blaze on a British-linked oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden has been put out after firefighting efforts continued through the night following a strike by Houthi rebels.
Photographs released by the Indian navy on Saturday showed smoke billowing from the Martin Luanda tanker as its crew battled to control a fire in a fuel compartment
It is operated on behalf of Trafigura, a multinational trading giant domiciled in Singapore.
The Houthis said the attack was revenge for British and American strikes on their positions in Yemen in what was the terror group’s latest attack on international shipping in the region.
Al-Masira, a Yemeni Houthi-ran broadcaster, said two air strikes had targeted the port of Issa, which is Yemen’s largest oil export terminal.
“Firefighting equipment on board is being deployed to suppress and control the fire caused in one cargo tank on the starboard side,” it said in a statement
As usual, in order not to lose face, a few hours later the US published news released by all western media with a similar title, namely "US military destroys Houthi antiship missile after oil tanker attack".
The Houthi attack has also exposed the lies of the UK and US claiming missile attacks on Yemeni soil to knock out Yemeni Houthi ammunition.
Turkey, which is part of the West, whose job is to trick Muslims in the world into siding with the West, received an F16 aircraft as a gift from the US after Turkey supplied the Bayakhtar to Israel, with the news being spread that Turkey purchased an F16 aircraft from the US
