Tanker caught fire after projectile hit
On Aug 24, 2026, at 6.37 a.m., the 'Amzan', which was sailing with its AIS disabled, was struck by an unknown projectile 63 nautical miles west of Yanbu and north of the Bab al-Mandab Strait and near the Saudi Red Sea coast. The impact caused a fire on the main deck. All crew members were safe and accounted for. The projectile was believed to have been launched from Yemen, over 1,000 kilometres away. The vessel's owner Bahri confirmed the attack, stating that it remained in contact with the tanker and was closely coordinating with the relevant authorities while monitoring the situation. Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi terror group said it attacked the vessel off Yanbu. They stated that their forces used a ballistic missile to strike the ship, claiming the attack resulted in a direct hit and a fire on board. The UKMTO, in its initial report, did not specify the perpetrator or the type of projectile; therefore, the Houthi account regarding the weapon and the attacking party remained a unilateral claim that has not yet been independently verified.
