Oil spill in the Red Sea: Houthi rockets set ship on fire - now there is a threat of an environmental catastrophe. US military's regional command announced on Monday night (February 26) that their target was presumably the US-flagged tanker “MV Torm Thor” in the Gulf of Aden.
The bullet landed in the water on Sunday night (local time) and caused no damage. The ship is at anchor, but is gradually filling with water and has now formed an oil slick that is around 29 kilometers long.
