The Houthi terrorist group, which controls a large portion of Yemen, is claiming responsibility for destroying a Greek tanker ship carrying crude oil from Iraq to Greece. Video of the aftermath shows the ship exploding and burning as it sits adrift in the Red Sea. According to the European Union (EU), an EU naval mission was able to rescue the sailors on board.

Since the October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel, Yemen’s Houthis have engaged in an extensive terror campaign against shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. However, the attack on the Greek-flagged Sounion is one of the most brazen strikes yet. The fact that the ship is Greek-owned and said under a Greek flag raises some concerns that the attack could trigger an Article 5 declaration by NATO, as Greece has been a member of the alliance since 1952.
