The Iranian-backed Houthi rebels conducted a missile strike on the Greek oil tanker M/T Wind on Saturday in the Red Sea, according to a release from U.S. Central Command.
The anti-ship ballistic missile’s impact “caused flooding which resulted in the of loss propulsion and steering,” according to CENTCOM. “A coalition vessel immediately responded to the distress call by M/T Wind, but no assistance was needed. The crew of M/T Wind was able to restore propulsion and steering, and no casualties were reported. M/T Wind resumed its course under its own power.”
