Yemen’s Houthi militia released a video on Monday showing its forces hijacking
the ship Galaxy Leader, a day after announcing it had seized the vessel in the
Red Sea as a demonstration of support for “the oppressed Palestinian people.”

The video, whose authenticity was verified by The New York Times, shows at least
10 armed men on the deck of the roughly 600-foot-long vessel after jumping out
of a military helicopter hovering just above it.

Most of the video appears to come from cameras attached to men’s heads, and
follows them as they seize control of the bridge from crew members. A later
section of the video, taken from a distance, shows a handful of small boats — of
a type known to be used by Houthi rebels — moving around and alongside the ship.
One flies a Yemeni flag used by the Houthis as well as a Palestinian flag; the
same flags are by this point flying on the Galaxy Leader.

A correction was made on

: 

An earlier version of this article misstated the location of the Galaxy Leader
in a satellite image captured on Sunday. The location was near the Zubair group
of Yemeni islands, not the Hanish islands.
