Houthi boat drone blows up Greek tanker in the Red Sea

This is before and after footage of a Houthi boat drone hitting a Greek tanker in the Red Sea. Video shows armed guards on board the M/V Tudor watching a boat coming towards them. They are seemingly unaware that the craft is actually a Houthi drone loaded with explosives. At the last moment they realise and rush inside. More video captures the chaotic moments after the explosion.
Alarms sound as armed men rush around, while ceiling panels have been knocked down by the force of the blast. Reports say the Tudor was hit twice - by air and sea - during the attack on June 12, with video only released now. At least one person is known to have died as a result, with the ship left drifting in the ocean after its engines were hit. The Houthis have been attacking ships in response to Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. They have sunk one boat, seized another, and launched more than 50 attacks. The shipping lane they are attacking is one of the most important for global trade. #russia #ukraine #war

Odd, Greece is providing Russia with a trans shipment terminal off Athens out in the huge protected gulf there, where Russian oil tankers transfer oil to 'other' tankers that then resell it, as anything but Russian oil to escape sanctions limiting sales to $45. This lets the owners of the 'other' tankers pocket $20 t- $40 a barrel profit. Now who is the biggest shipper in the world, oh yeah, Greece...famously known for running fleets of tankers and cargo ships. I guess they thought they could count on Russia to be their pals and protect them. WHY? Russia has abandoned and abused every country that has ever helped it.

The security guards may have been under orders by the spotter with the binoculars, but whoever is responsible for this has blood on their hands for failing to recognise this as a drone which is pretty stupid, considering anyone who watched these drones operating in the black sea would know instantly what this is, a drone likely packed with explosives, that the vessel was unmanned and manoeuvering on its own accord highlights the display of ignorance and stupidity by the spotter here as those assault rifles may have prevented this from happening.
