Houthi attack on tanker thwarted
The Danish-owned 'Torm Thor' was attacked in the Gulf of Aden en route from Tanjung Telepas to Djibouti on Feb 24, 2024, by the Houthi militia with several missiles. However, the attack on the tanker was averted by the American destroyer USS 'Mason', which shot down the ballistic missiles. There was thus no damage to either the warship or the 'Torm Thor', which berthed in Djibouti on Feb 25 at 5 p.m. UTC.
