Houthi militants claimed an attack on a tanker in the Mediterranean on a day in which they struck at two other vessels in the Red Sea.
The Yemen-based group’s armed forces said on its official website that it worked with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq to target a ship identified as the Olvia.
That appears to be a reference to the 6,400-dwt clean product tanker Olvia (built 2011), which is managed by Petronav Ship Management of Cyprus and owned by a one-ship company that shares an address with the company.
