[Regnum] The Yemeni Houthi movement Ansar Allah demonstrated a surface unmanned boat of its own production, which a few days ago attacked the Tutor ship in the Red Sea. The owner of the bulk carrier is a Greek company. The ship was heading to India under the flag of Liberia.

The Al Masirah TV channel showed the Toufan-1 surface drone and the moment of the attack on Tutor. It is noted that the device can carry a warhead weighing up to 150 kg and reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. It is designed to “engage nearby stationary and moving naval targets.”

There was a crew from the Philippines on board, 21 people were evacuated, one sailor was missing.

As reported by IA Regnum, a merchant ship that caught fire after an attack from unknown people from the sea and sky off the coast of Yemen on June 12 sank in the Red Sea. Debris and traces of fuel were found in the water area.

Yemen's Houthis attacked a US Navy destroyer and two commercial ships Captain Paris and Happy Condor in the Red Sea, Ansar Allah military spokesman Yahya Saria said on June 16.

The Houthis began attacks on ships associated with Israel and its allies in the fall of 2023 after the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, in order to thus support the Palestinian Hamas movement. In January 2024, the United States and Great Britain began to launch retaliatory strikes against the positions of the Yemeni movement.
