Oväntad händelse utanför Jemens kust. Houti-"rebeller" besköt en oljetanker från skuggflottan som transporterade rysk olja från Primorsk till Vadinar. Skeppet i fråga var alldeles nyligen inblandat i en kollision utanför Danmarks kust och hade inte giltiga försäkringar.
The Houthis have claimed responsibility for the attack. The group's military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, said in a televised speech on Saturday that a "British" ship called the Andromeda Star had been targeted, resulting in a "direct hit".
US Central Command confirmed that Andromeda Star was the ship in question, that it had suffered minor damage and was continuing its voyage.
Ambrey reported that the tanker in question was owned by the UK until November 2023.
Its current owner is Seychelles-registered and was engaged in Russia-linked trade - travelling from the Russia town of Primorsk to Vadinar, in the Indian state of Gujarat, when the attack happened.

A recent collision involving a "dark fleet" tanker has revived Denmark's worst fears about the ships that carry hundreds of thousands of barrels of Russian crude through the Danish Straits every day. If something should go wrong, it is unclear whether the true owner could be found, or whether an insurer would pay to cover the costs of a cleanup.
On March 2, the 15-year-old tanker Andromeda Star was involved in a collision with an unnamed vessel, the Danish Maritime Authority confirmed to Bloomberg. AIS data provided by Pole Star shows that at about 0700 hours that morning, the tanker slowed to a sudden stop as it rounded the northern tip of Jutland. The ship was in ballast condition at the time and was headed for a Russian port to load oil.
After the encounter, the Andromeda Star anchored south of Copenhagen until March 16, when it relocated to an anchorage next to the ship repair yard in Odense.
Andromeda Star was sold to undisclosed buyers four months ago, and its Equasis record has not been updated with the identity of the new owner. Its Indian manager, Margao Marine Solutions, was launched in late 2022 and operates three older tankers, all flagged in Panama.
The Star's P&I insurer is not listed in her Equasis record, and a search for her coverage information in the database of the International Group of P&I companies returns no results. The dark fleet has largely turned to using second-tier insurance options outside of the International Group, since the G7 price cap policy restricts which Russian cargoes are eligible for European or American coverage.

Lovade inte de där nötterna att de skulle inte skjuta mot ryska och kinesiska skepp?
Säger väl allt om deras intelligens:
"Öööh Abdallah, titta ett skepp. Är den rysk?".
"Vet inte Muhammad. Vi skjuter ändå. Inshallah!".
"Allah-u akbar Abdallah. Ja, det gör vi".
Inte så smarta ryssar heller. Nu hoppar de på gammelslaviska symboler och kallar dem nazistiska.

Tre medlemmar i det populära ryska metalbandet Korrozia Metalla har gripits mitt under en konsert misstänkta för att ha använt nazistiska symboler, uppgav myndigheterna på söndagen. Trion greps på lördagen under en klubbspelning i staden Nizjnij Novgorod i västra Ryssland. De 19, 42 och 57 år gamla medlemmarna i bandet misstänks för att "offentligt ha använt nazistisk propaganda och relaterade symboler och föremål". Böcker och t-shirts konfiskerades också från konsertlokalen, enligt myndigheterna.
Bandets frontkvinna Maria Rounova säger till den statliga nyhetsbyrån Tass att det rör sig om gamla slaviska symboler som inte har med nazistisk ideologi att göra. Videoklipp som publicerats på sociala medier visar hur säkerhetsvakter invaderar klubben och beordrar åskådarna att lägga sig ner på golvet.
