Video footage posted by the Houthi armed forces on their website purports to show a fiery blast on a Stealth Maritime tanker.

The Yemeni militant organisation said the video showed the attack by a drone boat on the Greek shipowner’s 107,500-dwt Chios Lion (built 2010).

The footage could not be immediately authenticated, and while it clearly shows a tanker similar to the Chios Lion, its identifying information was not visible.
