Houthis in Yemen sank the ship Tutor with an attack in the Red Sea. Yahya Seri, the military spokesman of the Houthis, published images of the ship they targeted on June 13 on his social media account, on the grounds that it violated the decision to “ban access to Israeli ports”.
Seri stated that “an attack was carried out with two armed unmanned marine vehicles” on the Liberian-flagged ship belonging to a Greek company.
NEW THREAT: “THE BIGGER THING IS TO COME”
Yahya Seri: “A bigger one will come, we have more.” he said.
Records of the attack on the main deck and middle part of the ship called Tutor reveal the extent of the damage suffered by the ship.
It was learned that the ship sank on June 18 due to damage.

SITUATION IN THE RED SEA
The Houthis, supported by Iran in Yemen, have been seizing commercial ships off the coast of Yemen, which they say are affiliated with Israeli companies, since October 31, 2023, as a reaction to Israel’s attacks in Gaza, and attacking some of them with unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles.
Due to the actions of the Houthis, many shipping companies decided to stop their voyages in the Red Sea.
The USA announced that a multinational “maritime task force” called “Operation Welfare Guardian” was formed against the Houthi forces on December 18, 2023, with the participation of a group of countries, on the grounds that global maritime trade security was endangered.
Following the US and UK attacks on the regions under their control in Yemen, the Houthis announced that they would target all ships of these countries.
