Houthi projectiles exploded close to a tanker controlled by Eastern Mediterranean Maritime (Eastmed) in the Red Sea on Saturday, in the latest attempt to target a vessel managed by the Greek firm.
The 110,000-dwt Abliani (built 2015) was not the only Eastmed ship the Yemeni militia claimed to have attacked over the weekend.
Its military spokesman, Yahya Saree, said the company’s 63,300-dwt bulker Maina (built 2016) was “targeted twice”, in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea.
