Jemen

[Schneemann]

Selbstmordangriff von drei (mutmaßlich von Houthi-Milizen gesteuerten) Sprengbooten auf eine saudische Fregatte vor der Küste des Jemen (der Vorfall ereignete sich bereits Ende Jänner) - die Fregatte erlitt mehrere Personalverluste und einige leichtere Schäden, überstand die Attacke jedoch - und nein, dass Schiff wurde nicht zerstört, wie Houthi-nahe Medien zunächst kolportiert hatten...

Saudi warship hit by Houthi suicide attack returns to base

JEDDAH: A Saudi warship targeted last month by Houthi suicide attackers returned to base on Sunday after completing its mission. The Al-Madinah warship of the Royal Saudi Navy was in late January hit by a terrorist boat attack off the Yemeni port of Hodeidah, killing two crew members. [...] Two Saudi crew members were killed and three others were injured in the suicide attack on the Saudi patrol frigate, the Arab coalition headquarters said last week. [...]

The Saudi navy warship reacted to the attack as required, but one of the Houthi boats rear-ended the vessel, resulting in an explosion and fire at the rear of the Saudi ship, which was extinguished by the crew. [...] Al-Bunyan stressed that the damage to the warship was limited to a small area at the back of the vessel, due to the collision with the terrorist’s boat.
