Shocking video shows moment huge explosion engulfs Liberia-flagged crude oil tanker in the Red Sea...

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] …after it was targeted by Huthi rebels

Chios Lion, a Liberia-flagged oil tanker was struck on its port side on Tuesday

Assault was part of a swarm of attacks by Houthis on ships in the Red Sea around 100 nautical miles northwest of Yemen's port city of Hodeidah

An unmanned watercraft is said to have carried out the attack, though only minor damage has been reported.

In the aftermath of the incident, officials are assessing the damage and investigating a potential oil spill, the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC) said on Tuesday.

'While originally headed south, following the attack the vessel turned around and back north out of the threat area to further assess damage and investigate potential oil spillage,' the JMIC said in a statement.

It added that the captain and crew were safe.

The manager of Chios Lion did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Yemen's Houthis said they targeted Chios Lion and Bentley I with ballistic missiles, drones and booby-trapped boats.
