Dramatic Video Shows\u00a0Houthi Kamikaze Boat Drone Blown Up By Container Ship Crew<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Iran-backed Houthis have intensified their\u00a0unmanned suicide surface drone attacks in the critical maritime chokepoint of the southern Red Sea. Dramatic footage shows the\u00a0crew of a container ship successfully destroying a\u00a0Houthi\u00a0kamikaze boat drone with small-arms fire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The video surfaced overnight on X. There has been no official MSM confirmation of the video so far. Depending on the X user,\u00a0the crew of the vessel, which is not named, is either Ukrainian or Russian.<\/p>\n

When you see speed boats like this headed toward your ship in #RedSea<\/a>, Aden Gulf or Bab El Mandab, shoot at them and destroy them before they blow-up your ship. #Houthi<\/a> terrorists have so far attacked several oil tankers with these unmanned surface vessels. pic.twitter.com\/EfYg7Rgd3g<\/a><\/p>\n

“This video was making the rounds yesterday and seems to be a Houthi USV attacking a containership with the embarked security team opening fire,”\u00a0shipping expert Sal Mercogliano wrote on X. The ship’s crew appeared to have successfully repelled the attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The USV blew up prior to impact with the ship. https:\/\/t.co\/Nev7u5pN7Z<\/a><\/p>\n

The timing of the incident remains unknown. Additionally, the IMO ship identification number and the exact location of the incident have yet to be shared on X.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Israeli fighter jets pounded\u00a0the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeida<\/a> in Yemen. This was an\u00a0unprecedented operation in response to a prior deadly drone attack on Tel Aviv launched from Yemen late last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Houthis have released footage of other recent boat drone attacks in the critical maritime chokepoint.\u00a0<\/p>\n

VIDEO OF THE DAY: The Houthis of Yemen have released a propaganda video of their attack against the oil tanker MT Chios Lion using an uncrewed surface vessel (USV). The oil tanker suffered minor damage and the crew is safe | #OOTT<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/CdMr1kz26v<\/a><\/p>\n

This is supposedly a video of the Houthis\u2019 attack on the MV TUTOR using at least one unmanned surface vessel and\/or other projectiles. Those are some big freakin explosions. No owner should be putting their crews at risk like that pic.twitter.com\/SPZ0f8JxIi<\/a><\/p>\n

As previously noted, the continued disruptions in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden have sparked a ‘supply shock<\/a>‘ in the global economy by sending container rates for certain shipping lanes sky-high.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
