any update on how operation guardian prosperity is progressing !!!
allah akbar ... houthis still doing their thing !!!
it seems that the houthis have targeted a couple of ships .. possibly hit one - but with minimal damage ..
The Yemeni Armed Forces have claimed responsibility for a precision military operation targeting the Panama-flagged vessel BLUE LAGOON I in the Red Sea. According to a statement by spokesperson Brigadier-General Yahya Saree, the ship was struck with several missiles and drones, resulting in a direct hit.
Saudi-owned crude tanker and a Panama-flagged oil ship were attacked on Monday in the Red Sea off Yemen, two sources familiar with the matter said, although it was unclear if the vessels were hit by Yemini Houthi militants.
The sources said the Saudi-flagged Amjad and Panama-flagged Blue Lagoon I were sailing in waters near to each other when they were hit, although the tankers were able to continue their voyages with no major damage assessed or any casualties.
The Amjad's owner, Saudi national shipping group Bahri, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The supertanker has a maximum capacity of two million barrels
plenty of ships targeted, some hit (with only minor damage) .. but every so now and then - the houthis hit the jack pot ..
anyway a good decision by the australian government to only send personnel for ...
Australia to take command of international taskforce protecting Red Sea shipping lanes
but not to commit any ships - as the talking potato seems to demand (butt seriously - who really takes notice of a talking potato .. lol lol nothing more than a side show exhibit at a small country rural show)
