一艘悬挂巴拿马国旗的原油油轮在也门摩卡西南15海里处遭到胡塞武装导弹袭击。

英国海上贸易行动安全局报告说，这艘油轮遭到两次撞击并受损。

在第一次袭击中，船员感觉到船只附近发生爆炸，第二次袭击涉及两枚导弹，击中油轮并造成损坏。

调查已经开始，但幸运的是，没有伤亡报告。

全球风险管理公司Ambrey提到，看到三枚导弹是从也门塔伊兹省发射的。

胡塞武装在周六的电视讲话中声称对此次袭击负责，该组织的军事发言人叶海亚·萨里亚(Yahya Sarea)说，一艘名为“仙女座之星”(Andromeda Star)的英国船只成为袭击目标，结果被直接击中。

美国中央司令部证实，“仙女座之星”号受到轻微损坏，继续航行。

Ambrey还提到，这艘油轮在2023年之前归英国所有。

目前的船主在塞舌尔注册，从事与俄罗斯有关的海上贸易，袭击发生时，这艘船从俄罗斯的普里莫尔斯克(Primorsk)前往印度古吉拉特邦的瓦迪纳尔(Vadinar)。

自去年11月以来，胡塞在亚丁湾和红海袭击了与以色列有关的船只。他们声称与巴勒斯坦人站在一起，并希望以色列停止轰炸加沙地带。

美国和英国也对也门的胡塞武装发动了多次袭击。

胡塞武装袭击穿越红海的船只，促使许多航运公司改变了从非洲出发的航线，这增加了运输时间和成本。

英文原文

A Panama-flagged crude oil tanker was hit by a Houthi Missile Strike 15 nautical miles southwest of Yemen’s Mocha.

United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Security Agency reported that the tanker was hit twice and was damaged.

In the first attack, there was an explosion near the vessel felt by the crew members, and the second attack involved two missiles which hit the tanker and caused damage.

Investigations have begun, though fortunately, no injuries or deaths were reported.

Ambrey, a Global Risk Management Firm, mentioned that three missiles were seen and were fired from Yemen’s Taiz governorate.

Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack in a televised speech on Saturday where the group’s military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, said that a British vessel called Andromeda Star was targeted, resulting in a direct hit.

The U.S Central Command confirmed that Andromeda Star suffered minor damage and continued on its voyage.

Ambrey also mentioned that the tanker was owned by the U.K. until 2023.

Its present owner is registered in Seychelles and was engaged in Russia-connected maritime trade, where the vessel travelled from Russia’s Primorsk to Vadinar, in India’s Gujrat state, when the attack occurred.

Houthis have attacked ships connected to Israel in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea since November. They claim to stand with Palestinians and want Israel to stop bombing the Gaza Strip.

The U.S and U.K have also carried out many attacks against Houthis in Yemen.

Houthi Attacks on Ships crossing the Red Sea have prompted many shipping companies to reroute their ships from Africa, which increases shipping times and costs.
