Yemen's Houthis have released a video showing their fighters boarding and detonating explosives on the oil tanker Sounion in the Red Sea. The Greek-flagged vessel, carrying nearly 1 million barrels of crude oil, was attacked earlier this month. The Houthis claim the ship violated their blockade against Israel-bound vessels. The group has been targeting alleged Israel-linked ships to pressure Israel to end the Gaza war, which has killed over 40,600 Palestinians. The attack raises concerns about a potential major oil spill and environmental catastrophe, as well as navigation risks in the region.
