Yemen Houthi attack on red sea

Since late November, the Houthis have conducted numerous attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. They claim their actions are intended to halt the Israel-Hamas conflict in the Gaza Strip.

Surrounding the incident, a video went viral in which a tanker ship can be seen caught in the fire. While sharing the video, the users are claiming that “Yemen Made Red Sea hell for Israel and its friends …”

Fact Check:

We investigated the viral video by reverse-searching the keyframes from the video. During the process, we found an article by Fleet Mon, a website that reports on maritime news. We found an article titled, “ Korean tanker major fire, crew evacuated, Shanghai”

Fleet Mon

The article mentioned that Tanker NEW BRIGHT caught fire on the Yangtze River, Shanghai, on Dec 21, 2023, in the afternoon while en route from Changzhou to Incheon, South Korea. 

Furthermore, the images in the article which showed the Tanker NEW BRIGHT were found to match the ship, shown in the video.

Conclusion

Thus from the fact check, it is evident, that the viral video is not associated with Yemen. It is a Korean ship passing the Yangtze River in Shanghai.
