The source said that the tanker sonion The Greek-flagged ship, which was evacuated of its crew after being targeted, is being towed north under military escort.
The ship was attacked last month by Houthis Iranian-backed vessel off the coast of Hodeidah carrying 150,000 tons of crude oil.
And targeted Houthis More than 80 ships have been attacked with missiles and drones since the war on Gaza began in October, and they have seized one ship and sunk two in the campaign that also killed four sailors.
The US-led coalition has intercepted other missiles and drones in the Red Sea, or the missiles and drones failed to reach their targets.
The Houthis claim they are targeting ships linked to Israel, the United States or the United Kingdom in response to the Israeli attack on Gaza, however, many of the ships attacked have little or no connection to the conflict, including some bound for Iran.
By launching dozens of attacks in the Red Sea since November, the Houthis have disrupted global trade and disrupted a trade route through which $1 trillion in goods normally pass annually.
