Chinese Missile News

A Chinese-owned oil tanker was attacked off Yemen by ballistic missiles fired by Houthi rebels, who have intensified strikes on Red Sea shipping, the US military said.

The Panamanian-flagged, Chinese-owned and operated Huang Pu issued a distress call on Saturday but did not request assistance, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement on social media platform X early on Sunday.

“No casualties were reported, and the vessel resumed its course,” the statement said.

The Iran-backed rebels, who control much of Yemen’s Red Sea coast, have launched dozens of missile and drone strikes on shipping over the past four months, actions they say are in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

CENTCOM and the British Navy’s United Kingdom Marine Trade Operations (UKMTO) said a fire had broken out on board the ship but was extinguished within 30 minutes.

The Marinetraffic tracking website later had the vessel sailing out of the Red Sea into the Gulf of Aden heading for its next port of call which, according to maritime security agency Ambrey, was New Mangalore in India.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which UKMTO said struck 23 nautical miles west of the Yemeni port of Mokha.

CENTCOM said Houthi rebels had launched four anti-ship ballistic missiles in the Red Sea near the Huang Pu before a fifth hit the vessel.

“The Houthis attacked the MV Huang despite previously stating they would not attack Chinese vessels,” it said.

According to Ambrey, “the tanker’s registration details, including name and operator, had been changed as recently as February 2024”

It had been registered in 2019 by British firm Union Maritime Ltd, Ambrey said, and another vessel affiliated with the same company had previously been targeted by the Houthis.

The Houthis have vowed to target Israeli, British and US ships, as well as vessels heading to Israeli ports, disrupting traffic along the vital trade route.

The United States, which leads an international coalition meant to protect Red Sea shipping, has been hitting Houthi targets in Yemen since mid-January.
Seems like the Houthis are too smart to be fooled.
 
There is no goods terrorist bad terrorist. Cheerleaders still have not learned from Taliban experiment or this could be collateral damage.
very much like saying no good Indians bad Indians.
 
Beg a little harder American Zionist cheerleader. Russia and China aren't listening.
😂

Touché, sometimes percent do matter though 😉

There is nothing always good or always bad that is why change and revisions needed.

Nothing is static, change is constant so keep evolving.
 
if iran can take out a civilian charter plane the houthis can kock out chinese vessel
exactly which charter plan?
by the way iran learnt from the best , who taught houthis ?
 
Our Indian friends are naturally good at lying and spreading fake news.

They mainly rely on the Internet to fight. But in the real world.

How incisive !

The OP has quoted the South China Morning Post .
 
LOL


Daddy America is pulling the strings on India. There goes your friendship and promise of standing with Russia for an eternity.
Only crude carried by Sovcomflot. Other crude is coming in as usual. In fact the tanker that was attacked was a Chinese owned carrying Russian crude to India.
 
Israel have them , centcom have them, India also have them and they l,ove a false flag operation to bring china into the fray.

Where was this recent Indian Navy rescue of pirated ship?
Was it anywhere nearby?

UK registered 。。。。OK
 
What a humiliation.
Well, this is a desperate attempt to show that Houthis attack Chinese ships too. Everybody knows Houthis don't attack Russian and Chinese ships unless of course it was a UK ship hiding under the Chinese banner. lolol
 
"Until now Chinese ships appeared to have little to fear — so much so that other ships had reportedly hoisted Chinese flags or changed identification data to suggest they’re Chinese ships. Bakeer suggested such cat-and-mouse games could have “created confusion” as to what ship the Houthis thought they were targeting, as the M/V Huang Pu had reportedly previously been registered to a British firm."
