00:00 As if the information of the Iranian drone attack near the Indian waters wasn't enough,
00:07 lo and behold, reportedly there was also an attack on India-bound ship in the Red Sea.
00:13 According to the US military officials, Houthi rebels in Yemen fired an attack drone into
00:17 the Red Sea, striking a crude oil tanker that was headed for India.
00:22 While there was no injuries reported, the MV Saibaba, tanker flying the flag of Gabon
00:27 and carrying Indians, issued a distress call to the nearby US ship.
00:31 The US Central Command announced on EK, the former Twitter platform.
00:35 The incident happened last night at around 10.30 pm Indian Standard Time, just hours
00:39 after another tanker off the Indian coast was attacked, which the US initially attributed
00:44 to Iran.
00:46 Reportedly an American vessel patrolling in the southern Red Sea received word of an attack
00:50 from two ships.
00:51 Before the most recent incidents, the US destroyer had also shot down four drones that were coming
00:57 from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.
00:59 The US military further adds that since October 17, these incidents marked the 14th and 15th
01:05 incidents that the Houthi rebels have attacked commercial shipping banks.
01:09 The Pentagon has stated that a drone fired from Iran targeted the Japanese-owned MV Kem
01:14 Pluto, which was attacked yesterday.
01:16 However, the Houthis, according to Iran's Deputy Minister Ali Bagheri, act according
01:20 to their own decision and capability.
01:22 However, Iran, which has been implicated in yesterday's attack on the MV Kem Pluto off
01:27 the Indian coast, somehow support the Houthi rebel.
01:30 They have been attacking ships in the Red Sea regularly, saying that they are doing
01:33 this in support of Gaza by attacking ships with ties to Israel.
01:38 However, these recent incidents are making it more hard for the shipping routes to continue
01:43 without any disruption.
