A Saudi maritime shipping company denied US reports that one of its ships was attacked by Yemen’s Houthi group in the Red Sea, Anadolu reports.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said Monday that the Houthis attacked two crude oil-laden tankers — the Panama- flagged/owned, Greek-operated MV Blue Lagoon I and the Saudi-flagged, owned and operated MV Amjad — with two ballistic missiles.
“We unequivocally confirm that Amjad was not targeted and suffered no injuries or damage,” the Saudi National Shipping Company (Bahri) said in a statement.
“The ship remains fully operational and is heading to its planned destination without interruption,” it added.
