The Emirates News Agency has just released pictures showing damage to the HSV Swift after it was destroyed by an anti-ship missile on Saturday.
The HSV Swift was on a humanitarian mission in the Red Sea when it was targeted by Yemen’s Houthi group in a missile attack near the Bab al-Mandab strait off Yemen, a key chokepoint for ships transiting between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Indian Ocean via the Suez Canal.

What a shame! It was a nice looking vessel in its pre-missiled days.

I wonder if it really was on a “humanitarian mission.”
Helping terrorists, maybe?

So the Muzzies massacred a humanitarian mission. This is probably the biggest Islamic victory since the last time two doped up jihadis got loose in a kindergarten.

I wonder if it really was on a “humanitarian mission.” Helping terrorists, maybe?Absolutely no, how could you say such a thing?
They were helping the US/Saudi/Al Qaeda/ISIS alliance that is busy genociding the Houthi tribes in the most humanitarian way.
And now they are toast -- the Emirati claim of no casualties is hard to swallow.

The whole bridge appears to be missing. Since the official story was no injuries, they must all be dead.

Sure looks like it. And lower decks, I’d imagine some too.
Wow.

With the primary, and then secondary explosions, I find it doubtful that there were no fatalities.....I’d actually lean towards the “everyone died” or “everyone died, and survivors killed by the govt” side of prediction.
